Hatha is a basic, gentle, slow and relaxes style of yoga.
Awareness of each movement and breath is important to be able to achieve balance and connect.
Hatha sessions combine asanas (poses), pranayama (breathing) and dhyana (meditation).
As this is a slow style of yoga, during which we breathe for a certain amount of time in each asana, we help the body to relax and thus improve flexibility and body awareness.
If you are thinking of starting to do yoga, hatha may be a good option since it involves maintaining poses for long enough to get to know and understand each of them.
All hatha sessions begin with a short meditation period. If you have never tried this or are curious, you’ll get a brief introduction to meditation during these classes.
Hatha yoga classes are calm. They focus on good body alignment and inner balance.
