Why do Yoga?
Yoga is the fusion of body and spirit and the developmental tool in self change.
At Shimmering Lotus we practice Hatha yoga. "Hatha" comes from the Sanskrit words "ha", or sun, and "tha" meaning moon.
The philosophy behind Hatha is to unite pairs of opposites: the positive and the negative, the sun and the moon, the masculine and the feminine.
