We offer a complete system of health and fitness through the teachings of hatha yoga to help people
heal
and grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our purpose is to create an environment of conscientious
human beings committed to improving their health and revitalizing their spirits.
Huntington Beach Hot Yoga provides a safe, clean, caring environment with the highest level of professional
instruction. It is a sacred space where people are welcomed, connected and cared for.
Yoga simply means "union" and "balance". By working with the postures (asanas) and breathing exercises,
the relationship between body and mind are brought together. Hatha yoga is a tool or system created to
facilitate balance and well being.
The state of existence is impermanence. Through yoga, we come to understand that our bodies are subject
to the laws of nature and are in constant change. Resistance creates tension and disharmony. The path
to health and freedom therein lies our ability to accept ourselves, including our bodies, unconditionally.
Huntington Beach Hot Yoga is pleased to be the first Dayton Method Hot Yoga studio in the city of Huntington Beach.
We look forward to creating new relationships and building a community with people who share a common
interest and love for yoga.
Namaste

Cathleen & Richard McCauley
WHEN DID YOU FIRST START PRACTICING AT HBHY?
Richard - I started getting serious about 1 year ago, I realized how much I needed to be committed to make it work.
Cathleen - I started about 2 years ago but didn't get committed until a year ago. After being irregular I realized that I needed to be disciplined. Now when I don't go or miss a class I really feel it.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU PRACTICE? Both of us practice 4 times a week.
WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY BENEFITS TO YOU?
Richard - yoga makes my back feel much better. I have a deformed vertebra in my lower lumbar and yoga strengthens the muscles around it and keeps my back from aching and being in pain. Now I am able to surf, snowboard and cycle without pain.
Cathleen - yoga has helped my ankle and knee injuries. Before I couldn't even walk up the stairs or wear shoes, now I can do anything and everything without pain. Richard and I have a tremendous amount of stress in our lives, and with the practice we are able to cope with daily uphill battles in a calm peaceful process.
HOW HAS YOUR PRACTICE CHANGED YOUR LIFE?
Richard - it has made my life without pain. It has given me a peace within my self.
Cathleen - yoga has shown me how unbalanced my body is and how hard I have to work to get my body back to a balanced form. I love how I feel after a class and how strong I feel. It gives me the feeling that I can conquer anything in my sight without anxiety or uncertainty. It clams me in a way that I view life looking through a different window, a clear window. We enjoy all the people we have meet along the journey.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE POSTURE?
Richard - awkward, I feel strong in this posture.
Cathleen - since my practice is always changing there is not a favorite, however I feel that I am getting really strong at triangle....and looking forward to taking on the challenge.
