• 8:30 AM–9:45 AM - Hatha Flow Class: Immerse yourself in a transformative 75-minute class in the bamboo shala, where gentle breezes, rustling palm leaves, and distant Sanskrit chants create a sacred ambiance:

  • Class Structure (75 minutes):

    • Pranayama (10 minutes): Begin with guided breathwork, using techniques like Ujjayi or Nadi Shodhana, led by the instructor to calm the mind and align energy. The rhythmic breathing, paired with the shala’s open-air setting, feels expansive for beginners and grounding for advanced yogis.

    • Asanas (50 minutes): Transition into a slow, deliberate Hatha Flow sequence, blending standing poses (e.g., Warrior II, Triangle), seated stretches (e.g., Paschimottanasana), and balancing postures (e.g., Tree Pose). Instructors emphasize alignment and mindfulness, offering modifications (e.g., using blocks for beginners) and challenges (e.g., deeper twists for experienced guests). The sequence targets physical balance and inner calm, with instructors adjusting for all levels.

    • Meditation and Closing (15 minutes): Conclude with a guided meditation, incorporating a short mantra (e.g., “Om Shanti”) and savasana, allowing you to absorb the practice. The instructor’s soothing voice and occasional Tibetan bowl chimes deepen relaxation, leaving first-timers refreshed and regulars centered.

  • Benefits: Enhances flexibility, reduces stress, and fosters mental clarity, rooted in Tantric Hatha’s focus on energy alignment. Beginners feel supported by the inclusive pace, while advanced practitioners appreciate the depth of breathwork and meditative focus.

Mats are spaced for comfort, and props (blocks, straps) are available. Instructors adjust lighting (natural or shaded) and play soft chants, enhancing the sensory experience. The faint scent of frangipani from nearby gardens adds a Balinese touch.

• Cultural Connection: Your driver explains how The Practice’s Tantric Hatha draws from Bali’s Hindu roots, with pranayama mirroring temple breath practices and asanas reflecting offerings’ grace. Learn about the studio’s community efforts, like free Tuesday meditation classes, fostering local and global wellness, enriching your experience.
