60 Minute Traditional Hatha Yoga Sequence Hatha Yoga Benefits weight Loss|Hatha Yoga Classes Near Me

The video opens with Speaker A sharing a personal narrative about fluctuating motivation throughout the day, linking the experience to the yogic concept of the three gunas—Rajas (activity), Sattva (balance), and Tamas (rest). This reflection sets the intention for a 60‑minute Hatha yoga class designed to move through these energetic states. Speaker C then guides the class, beginning with a brief seated intention and a pranayama practice (Nadi Shodhan alternate nostril breathing). The session proceeds through a structured warm‑up (neck, shoulder, side stretches), a full Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutation) series performed at varying speeds, and a comprehensive standing sequence that includes Warrior I & II, side‑angle (Utthita Parsvakonasana), Triangle (Trikonasana), and multiple twisting poses (Parivrtta Parsvakonasana, Parivrtta Trikonasana). The practice continues with seated twists (Ardha Matsyendrasana), side‑bends (Parighasana), bound hip‑openers (Gomukhasana), and a series of restorative poses (Shavasana, Pavanamuktasana, Ananda Balasana, Viparita Karani). The class concludes with a five‑minute silent meditation focused on the third eye, followed by a gentle re‑orientation to the external environment. Finally, Speaker A announces upcoming classes (10 PM EST Hatha, 11 AM EST Vinyasa) and thanks participants. Throughout, the instructor offers breath cues, alignment tips, and encouragement to honor the body’s current state, embodying the philosophical lesson of accepting the natural flow of the gunas.
Chapters
Okay, welcome to day 6. Hatha yoga flow. Okay, um, so something to share, a little bit of yoga philosophy that I learned today. So this morning I woke up like full of energy, like motivated, ready to go, like excited, determined, motivated, all of these great things. And in the middle of my day, I kind of reached a state of like balance you know, joy, contentment, and I felt like, man, I could do this forever. I feel so like, you know what I mean, at peace, balanced, aligned. And then suddenly I just got like hit with this, this like wave of like apathy and like doubt and depression and darkness. And I was like, man, what is, what is going on? Like, What is happening? And after I hit that state of like darkness, I automatically was like guided to create positive change, create a better schedule to reach my goals, more confidence, more positivity towards the next day, towards the future. And then I felt, you know, kind of like really tired and just like ready to go to sleep, and I started to To like feel bad. I started to feel bad about that. Like, I should be more motivated. I should be putting more time into work. I should be putting more time into making money. Like, you know, I feel like I'm being lazy right now. Like, I'm not working hard enough. Anyhow, I let it all go, turned to yoga philosophy, and I learned that There are 3 gunas in this life, and each of those gunas we cycle throughout our day, throughout our weeks, throughout our seasons. And each of these gunas take us through a ride of like passion and drive, which is called, I think, um, what is that one called? Starts with an R.
Rajas.
I think it was like Rajas. I don't want to butcher it. What is it? Rajas. You see, I remembered Rajas, which is all about passion and determination, motivation, which is usually that state that I'm in. Like, always want to be go, go, go. Like, let's get there, let's reach those goals. Then there's the Sattva stage, which is all about balance. And this one's the best, most desirable stage by all the yogis to really be in that Perfect harmony, joy, contentment, have a nice balance between action and like rest and relaxation. And then there is the, the Tamas, the Tamas stage, I believe it's Tamas, which is all about lethargy and rest and like really feeling lazy and allowing yourself to go through the emotions of like sadness and tiredness. And I learned today literally that that whole process that I went through today from, from morning until night was literally the yoga gods teaching me that philosophy, which is following that path of least resistance and allowing yourself to just be detached from, from holding on to a certain state that you are in and allowing your, your body, mind, and soul to just go through those stages And, um, you have a lot more peace and your soul reaches more enlightenment that way, as opposed to feeling like a loser if you're not like reaching the top and going to the top all the time, because you don't find your truth that way. You are so attached to the material world and this certain state of being that you don't actually connect with the pureness that is within. The unsaturated— or no, I want to say the, the not poisoned part of your spirit that becomes so attached to a certain state that is unattainable to be reached at a full-time speed always. So I kind of reached that point today, like I'm like, oh, I'm doing the hatha yoga now and it's perfect because I'm gonna have that nice cleanse. I don't feel as guilty to just say, you know what I mean, Okay, I'm tired. I gotta listen to my body. Let's relax and like find more balance and like read a book instead of being like working until like 3 a.m. You know what I mean? So that's that's a yoga lesson that I that I reached today, and I thought I would share it with you guys. Okay, so today we're doing the hatha yoga flow.

Deepen your breathing again. Release your mudra, bring your hands onto your knees, and just start to notice the sensations you can feel— your clothes against your skin, your body connected with the ground below you.
