Sunmoon yoga follows the path of Hatha Yoga. The word 'hatha' derives from the Sanskrit root ‘ha’, meaning ‘sun’, and ‘tha’ meaning ‘moon’. In Sunmoon yoga we practice the traditional Asana (physical postures) and Pranayama (breathing techniques), along with relaxation and meditation.
Practicing this way, over time, has the effect of purifying and cleansing the body, gradually bringing peace to the mind and freedom to the soul.
More generally, Sunmoon yoga refers to the female and male aspects of nature itself, the cold and hot, yin and yang, and the interplay of these two forces throughout the universe, and indeed within ourselves. Regular practice of yoga helps to unify our own subtle forces, the sun and moon within, bringing harmony, balance, health and peace.
So in the midst of our busy modern lifestyle, we still have the opportunity to look deeper into ourselves and the world. A yoga class can begin as a necessary way to relax but can develop into an exploration of our inner selves and lead to an experience of bliss and harmony within and without.
