What to Expect

Hatha yoga is a foundational branch of yoga that focuses on physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation to balance the body and mind. In Sanskrit, "Hatha" literally translates to "force," reflecting the forceful or determined effort required to master the body and direct its vital energy, or prana. It is often esoterically interpreted as the union of the sun (ha) and moon (tha), symbolizing the balance of opposing energies within the practitioner.
