Living Spirit Yoga, a fully integrated and deeply transformational style of hatha yoga developed by Nathan Hayes, integrates the many different ancient approaches to the practice of yoga and offers a refreshingly balanced, modern and accessible system that facilitates a deep healing at the core. Once the core or spirit is healed, every area of your life improves, often dramatically.

Living Spirit Yoga strives to balance opposites: strength and suppleness, willfulness and surrender, activity and rest, male and female, sun and moon. Its asana practice blends power, fluidity, ease, lightness, humbleness, and facilitates self-awareness, personal transformation, joyfulness and an enlightened consciousness.

Appropriate but not excessive emphasis is placed on structural mechanics and form, lines of energy, the role of the breath, the integration of the internal organs, the central importance and various techniques of meditation, the art of letting go, the role and proper place of willfulness and commitment, and the ethical and moral underpinnings of yoga.

Through the practice of Living Yoga, you will learn flowing, graceful and organic posture sequences that will challenge but not exhaust you, no matter what your level of experience or flexibility. The hallmarks of Nathan's classes are creative sequencing that makes anatomical sense, balance, and a sense of adventure. All that is necessary is your physical presence on the yoga mat (show up), a sensible respect for the limitations of your body, and a willingness to genuinely surrender the ego and be with what is, opening up to the great Living Spirit
