Hatha Yoga is the physical practice of balance, a journey where the body aligns with the mind to achieve inner harmony
Hatha Yoga is a comprehensive practice that aims to create balance and harmony between the body and mind through physical postures, breath control, and meditation. The term "Hatha" comes from the Sanskrit words "Ha" meaning sun and "Tha" meaning moon, symbolizing the balance of opposites (e.g., sun and moon, active and passive, heating and cooling). It is one of the oldest and most traditional forms of yoga, forming the foundation for many modern yoga styles. Asanas are held for a longer period of time, which allows you to focus more on breathing and enter into a mediative state of mind. You will experience a balancing yet invigorating practice that builds both inner and outer strength and stability, and fosters a tranquil and grounding state of awareness.
Enhances Balance and Coordination: Specific asanas enhance physical stability, improves coordination and proprioception.
Increases Strength: Many poses, especially those requiring holding postures or supporting body weight, strengthen muscles.
Aids Digestion: Specific asanas massage the internal organs, aiding digestion and elimination.
Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Combination of asanas, pranayama, and meditation helps reduce cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone.
Balances Energy Flow: Pranayama and asanas help balance the ida (yin/chandra energy) and pingala (yang/surya energy) nadis in the body leading to the harmonius flow of prana (life force energy).
