What Is Hatha Yoga?

Hatha Yoga is one of the oldest and most traditional forms of yoga. It focuses on physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation.
It aims to balance the mind and body by harmonizing energy channels.

In modern yoga, “Hatha Yoga” usually refers to a slow-paced, gentle class with emphasis on correct alignment and conscious breathing.

Key Features of Hatha Yoga

  • Physical poses (asanas)

  • Breathwork (pranayama)
