Hatha Yoga is a traditional branch of yoga that focuses on balancing the body and mind through yoga postures (asanas), controlled breathing (pranayama), and meditation.

It is designed to help improve a person's physical, mental and emotional health. It is often considered a form of preparation for other, more advanced types of yoga, and is accessible to people of all ages and skill levels.

Hatha Yoga works with a variety of body movements and postures, including:

Asanas: Yoga postures that are held for a period of time, working the muscles, joints, and nervous system.

Pranayama: Regulate conscious breathing.

There are different pranayama techniques, including:

  • Ujjayi: a subtle sound is produced when expelling the air, similar to the noise of the waves of the sea.
  • Nadi Shodhana: Also known as the alternate nose technique, it involves alternating breathing in and out through one nose and then the other.
  • Kapalabhati: this is a quick series of strong exhalations followed by passive inhalations.

Meditation: It can include concentration on an object, sound, or breath, or involve visualization or reflection on a mantra or positive affirmation.

Yoga meditation is done in a calm and comfortable environment, usually sitting up straight with your eyes closed.

Mantra and chant: Repeating sacred words or singing devotional songs to improve concentration and spiritual connection.
