What Is Hatha Yoga?
Hatha Yoga is a slow-paced, meditative practice focused on floor-based postures that are passively held for several minutes at a time. This style targets the body’s deep fascia, ligaments, and joints, especially around the hips, pelvis and spine – areas where we often hold emotional and physical tension.
Using gravity, breath, and props to support the body, Hatha Yoga gently stimulates the body’s energy meridians, aiding physical release and emotional regulation. The emphasis is on stillness, surrender, and softness.
