Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga practice involves breath, body, and mind and is a gentle, slower style using basic poses that are suitable for beginners.

Although it may translate to 'discipline of force’, Hatha yoga is the branch of yoga that typically comes to mind when you think of yoga in general terms. The practice involves breath, body, and mind, and classes are usually 45 minutes to 90 minutes of breathing, yoga poses, and meditation .  Any type of yoga that teaches physical postures is technically Hatha. However, in reality, when you see a class advertised as ‘Hatha’, it’ll likely be a gentle, slower style using basic poses that are suitable for beginners. 

This type of yoga is the most commonly practiced in today's world. Hatha yoga focuses primarily on breath control, physical poses (asanas), and meditation. It is a very popular form of yoga because it does not require you to be super flexible or strong to benefit from its many stress-reducing advantages.
