Hatha Yoga is the most traditional and widely practiced form of yoga. It is considered the foundation from which many modern yoga styles have developed. The term “Hatha” represents the balance between two opposing forces—sun and moon, strength and flexibility, action and relaxation.
Hatha Yoga focuses on basic postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation. The movements are slow and controlled, making it ideal for beginners who are just starting their yoga journey.
A typical Hatha Yoga session includes gentle stretching, simple poses, and relaxation techniques. The goal is not to rush through poses but to hold them long enough to improve flexibility and awareness.
