The Classic 26 and Express 26 classes are structured sequences of safe and accessible yoga postures, and two specific breathing exercises. The postures are each held for a certain time, then we return to stillness, either standing or prone. This alternation between active engagement and active softness, allows time for the body to integrate, the mind to clear, and the heart to remain steady.
The predictable structure of the class allows you to remain grounded in present experience, rather than distracted by what posture is next. With just a few classes, you begin your journey as your own teacher. Observing yourself in present activity offers many lessons. We learn about ourselves, through ourselves.

I had the pleasure of visiting Maine Hatha Yoga last Thursday (7/18). What a beautiful studio! I have been practicing Bikram for over 10 years and I just met the most knowledgeable teacher. After one session, Angela improved my practice tremendously! Whenever I come back to Portland I will visit Maine Hatha Yoga.

Teacher Training
Report
We are seeking candidates for Maine Hatha Yoga's Teacher Training Program. We have designed a course that will prepare qualified individuals to teach our Classic Hot 26 Hatha Yoga class. It has come to light through the works of other dedicated and curious minds, that the sequence is older than Bikram Choudhury claims, casting doubt on much of his influence over the methods of practicing Hatha yoga.
