Hatha yoga
Hatha yoga is an ancient branch of yoga where the body is given training through postures (also known as asanas) to achieve health and steadiness. Hatha yoga includes several limbs that support and complement the asanas we all know. The goal of Hatha yoga is to achieve a state of integrated health, and to facilitate the experience of meditation.
The benefits of this practice are noticeable in the body, the mind and our state of awareness. Hatha yoga is a complete practice and when done correctly it can become a sustaining tool for a heathier system, and a deeper appreciation and experience of life.
The limbs of yoga
A traditional hatha yoga class is practiced with all it’s elements – asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and meditation. These limbs are methods to achieve higher attention, energy levels, steadiness and relaxation. Moving into a posture and staying with each one for a number of breaths is one of the main characteristics of this practice.
Occasionally we will mention the philosophy of yoga and it’s recommendations for a good practice and health.
