Did you know that hatha yoga is the starting point for almost all modern yoga styles? If you are just starting out or want a practice that combines gentle movement and mental focus, this discipline may be just what you need.
What is hatha yoga and how does it differ from other styles?
Hatha yoga literally means "sun and moon," and represents the balance between active and passive energy. Unlike other more dynamic styles such as Vinyasa or Power Yoga, hatha yoga focuses on holding postures for longer periods of time, with conscious breathing and mindfulness.
This practice is ideal for both beginners and people looking to reconnect with their body and mind without extreme physical demands. It allows you to progress at your own pace, improving alignment, breath control and concentration in each session.
Also, if you were wondering what hatha yoga is on a daily basis, think of a class where the body moves slowly and precisely, while the mind calms and strengthens.

The hatha yoga benefits are broad and accessible to any age or physical level. It helps to:
-
