Hatha Yoga

ABOUT

Hatha is a Sanskrit term and can be broken down into two parts; ha meaning the sun and tha meaning the moon.This traditional form of yoga establishes tranquility by balancing the solar and lunar energies in the body. Hatha, through breath control (pranayama) and body control (asana) brings about purification and stability and achieves the perfect union between mind and body.

Thus, hatha yoga is the balance that we should strike between these two powerful elements within us. Hatha yoga is derived from the ancient Vedanta orientation of Hatha Pradipika also called Hatha Yoga Pradipika compiled by Svatmarama in the 15th century CE.
