Hatha Yoga      

Hatha yoga describes the physical practice of yoga. In fact, sometimes the name Hatha is used interchangeably with "yoga." The slow pace and simple breathing exercises make it a great place to learn basic poses and become comfortable on the mat.

Hatha yoga is a system of yoga introduced by Yogi Swatmarama. The word "Hatha" comes from the Sanskrit "ha," or sun, and "tha," meaning moon. The principle behind Hatha is uniting pairs of opposites: the positive and the negative, the sun and the moon.

The health benefits of Hatha are immense. Yoga relieves stress and promotes a deeper relaxation while still providing physical exercise. Classes range in intensity depending on the instructor.
