! My name is Mariel Almonte, I was born and raised in the mountains of Cayey, Puerto Rico. I discovered yoga in 2015 and completed my 200-hour training in 2020. As a chiropractor with a profound passion for women's health and physical therapy, I focused my practice and education on the needs of pregnant and postpartum women. Along with my husband, Jose, I own a chiropractic practice in Aguada, PR (please come visit!) and we have a dog named Milo!

Description

Hatha yoga is a practice that aims to balance the polarities of the body and mind. In Sanskrit, "ha" means sun and "tha" means moon, and this yoga style integrates these two energies to create harmony and balance within.

In this 60-minute class, we will explore our inner world through physical postures (asana). We will begin with a meditation to set our intention, followed by practices of pranayama (breath control) and mantra (sound vibration) to activate our energy. We will then move into a warm-up sequence, leading to the peak poses, and conclude with a cool-down period and savasana, where you will receive sound healing. The class will end with a final meditation, pranayama, and mantra.

During the class, we also place emphasis on befriending the nervous system in order to cultivate mental elasticity. By learning to regulate the nervous system during our practice, we can better manage stress and cultivate a greater sense of well-being in our daily lives.People of all levels are welcomed!
