What is Hatha Yoga?

Hatha Yoga is a traditional form of physical and mental exercise that originated in ancient India. It is a branch of Yoga that focuses on the physical postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama). The word "Hatha" comes from "Ha," meaning sun, and "Tha," meaning moon, symbolizing the union of opposites, the balance of masculine and feminine energies. The practice of Hatha Yoga aims to achieve harmony between mind, body, and spirit. It involves gentle stretching, strengthening, and balancing exercises, as well as mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Hatha Yoga is popular worldwide and widely practiced for its numerous health benefits, including improved flexibility, strength, posture, and overall well-being.
