Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga is a basic kind of yoga that focuses on controlling breath (pranayama) and physical postures (asanas) to develop body-mind balance. It combines static poses with slow, intentional movements to enhance alignment, flexibility, and strength. Standing, sitting, and reclining poses are frequently combined in hatha sessions, and they are frequently held for varied lengths of time to improve breath awareness and deepen the stretch.
Beyond its physical advantages, Hatha Yoga seeks to balance the body’s energy pathways, or nadis, and spiritual energy centres, or chakras, to promote inner tranquilly and wellbeing. Practices that emphasise thoughtful breathing and deliberate movement help practitioners become more focused and relaxed, which benefits their overall well-being and vitality both on and off the mat.
