“Hohup” means “Breath” in Korean. Hohup Yoga is a traditional Korean holistic health program. The Tatum & Thunderbird location of Paradise Healing Retreat has delivered ancient Korean wisdom of breathing health since 2006.

At Hohup Yoga we can help you master the art of keeping a “cool head and warm feet” to create the ideal condition for a healthy body and a peaceful mind. We will teach you step by step how to breathe correctly, all the time, everyday. You’ll quickly learn how breathing affects every aspect of your life

Our 80 to 90 minute Hohup classes help to increase energy and vitality, reduce & manage stress and improve concentration. Through this training, you will quickly notice a change in how you feel as you become more relaxed and fill up with energy.

Each class includes:

1. Meridian Stretching - (30 minutes)

Meridians are a pathway for Ki(Chi) circulation in your body. It is also the pathway of consciousness and emotions. When we have good energy circulation  in the meridian channels, our body and mind connect well and comfortable. But, when our meridian channels are blocked then our mind and body are separate and uncomfortable. Meridian stretching, with focus on your lower abdominal breathing,  releases the tension of the whole body and helps ease the stressful mind. Also, this exercise releases clogged blockages of emotional stress in the Chest and Solar Plexis to prepare the right deep breathing.

2. body watching for relaxtion - (5 minutes)

Bring back  your mind to your body by focusing and feeling each part of  your body.  Because your mind is energy, you can  recharge your body to its optimal energy level.  After stretching, your body easily brings back your mind to your body and removes distance of your mind and body.

3. Breath Training - (30 minutes)

Each member has their own level of breath training postures. At this time you will learn, step by step, how to breathe correctly making your breathing deeper and longer. Special postures of Hohup yoga will help you breathe up to your lower abdomen naturally and comfortably. Most life threatening diseases  occur from problems associated with internal organs, which will be healthy through breathing well and right. This training lets you experience deep relaxation and recharges your energy to create “a cool head and warm feet”. This balanced energy helps to normalize blood pressure, improve digestion and curb your appetite. It will also help guide you into deep meditaton.

4. Ki(Chi) Meditation - (10 minutes)

At this time you will try many different kinds of meditation to help you stay here and now. You’ll also  gain freedom from racing thoughts and emotions to create inner peace and mind power by awakening your energy flow sensation.
