🔥 THE SCIENCE OF HATHA YOGA
Traditional Hatha Yoga is not simply a collection of physical postures.
It is a progressive science designed to prepare, purify, stabilise and transform the practitioner.
The journey can be understood through 7 stages:
🔥 1. PURIFICATION — PREP
Through diet, purification practices, Asana and Ayurveda, we bring the body back into balance and prepare the system for deeper practice.
🔥 2. STRENGTHENING — PREP
We develop physical and mental strength, discipline and resilience, creating a body and mind capable of sustaining deeper practice.
🌙 3. CALMING — MOON
The focus turns inward.
Through slower, conscious practice, we begin to still the lake of the mind and see beyond the surface.
🌙 4. STABILITY — MOON
Calmness must become stable.
Asana, Pranayama and Meditation cultivate steadiness, resilience and the ability to remain connected to our practice through life’s challenges.
☀️ 5. HIGHER PERCEPTION — SUN
We become increasingly sensitive to Prana, the vital life force.
Through Prana Dharana, Kumbhaka and Bandha, we learn to sense, contain and work with Prana.
☀️ 6. EXPANSION — SUN
Our relationship with Prana deepens.
Through Bandha and Kriya, we develop greater capacity to direct and contain this energy, moving towards increasingly subtle experiences.
🔥 7. ILLUMINATION — FIRE
The culmination of the process.
Lunar and solar energies are brought together, awakening Rudrani, an expression of Prana Shakti.
The practices of Asana, Kumbhaka, Bandha, Kriya and Mudra culminate in the awakening of the inner Fire.
The deeper purpose of Hatha Yoga is not simply to make the body stronger or the mind calmer.
It is to awaken the sacredness that already exists within us.
🔥 The Fire is already there.
The practice prepares us to experience it.

Bhav is a soulful Yoga School in the heart of Cronulla offering traditional Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa, Yin, Pranayama & Meditation.
More than just movement—we teach yoga as a path to self-discovery, transformation & inner excellence. Bhav is a welcoming studio in the heart of Cronulla, founded by Chris Alleaume. Our philosophy is that yoga is a spiritual practice, and is so much more than a physical work out. We offer over 20 classes every week in a range of styles, including Traditional Hatha, Vinyasa Krama and Yin Yoga.

This 40 Day Challenge follows the structure and science behind the seven stages of Hatha Yoga:
1. Purification / Strengthening
2. Calming
3. Stability
4. Sensitivity
5. Expansion
6. Illumination
Most modern yoga tends to focus heavily on the first two stages, purification and strengthening, while often overlooking the deeper stages that follow.
This program is designed to give you a taste and direct experience of those final five stages, exploring how we can access them through yoga practice, self-awareness and a deeper understanding of ourselves, rather than simply moving the body on the mat.
The challenge can be completed entirely in the studio, from the comfort of your own home, or a combination of both. Each week, we’ll also come together for a mid-week session to share our experiences, discuss our progress and, most importantly, stay accountable to showing up for ourselves.
The challenge begins Monday, August 31, so there’s not long to go!
If you’re interested or have any questions, please reach out. I’d be more than happy to chat with you and help you work out whether the 40 Day Challenge is the right fit for you.
We’d love to have you on board! 🙏🔥

What an incredible journey this Yoga Teacher Training has been. 🌿
For the first time, we took our training overseas and lived alongside the students for the entire experience. Sharing the same space creates a stronger container—more real, more challenging, and ultimately more transformative. It asks more of everyone, but it also gives so much more in return.
This group was outstanding, demonstrating an incredibly high standard of teaching and a genuine commitment to their own growth. Our greatest intention is that every graduate leaves not only knowing how to teach yoga, but understanding themselves more deeply and having the wisdom and confidence to guide others with authenticity.
Teaching yoga is about so much more than moving bodies through postures. It’s about understanding the body, energy and mind, and creating an experience that has the potential to transform lives.
We’re already counting down until we return to Bali next year. Until then, if you’re feeling called to deepen your practice and step into the role of a teacher, we’d love to welcome you to our 200-Hour Traditional Ta**ra Hatha Yoga Training this October at Bhav Yoga School.

It was such a gift to have Mark Breadner | Yoga Coach back at Bhav this weekend, sharing his wisdom, experience, and deep understanding of the practice.
What I appreciate most about Mark is that he speaks the same language we value at Bhav, the language of traditional yoga. A language that recognises yoga as something far greater than physical postures, complicated sequences, loud music, mirrors, trends, or added heat.
Yoga was never intended to be just a workout. It is a pathway to self-awareness, inner transformation, and a deeper connection to life itself.
It was refreshing to hear these teachings expressed through a different voice and perspective, while remaining rooted in the same timeless principles that continue to guide our practice.
A huge thank you to Mark for taking the time to visit Bhav and share so generously with our community. We wish you all the best for the remainder of your tour and look forward to welcoming you back whenever your travels bring you this way again.
The Return - Mark Breadner
$147 | Sat, June 20 | 2pm–6pm
This 4-hour immersion with Mark is designed to take your practice beyond the physical and into the deeper layers of yoga, energy, mind, and consciousness. Blending simple guided practices with clear, practical teachings drawn from over 45 years of experience, this workshop offers a grounded and accessible space to slow down, step out of stress and mental noise, and reconnect with a deeper understanding of yourself and your practice. Students will experience a slower, more intentional approach to yoga while gaining greater clarity, inner stability, and a stronger sense of direction and connection in both their practice and daily life. Perfect for those seeking more depth, feeling disconnected, or curious about the deeper side of yoga beyond movement.
