Hath Yoga

Hatha is a general category that includes most yoga styles. It is an old system that includes the practice of asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises), which help bring peace to the mind and body, preparing the body for deeper spiritual practices such as meditation.Today, the term hatha is used in such a broad way that it is difficult to know what a particular hatha class will be like. In most cases, however, it will be relatively gentle, slow and great for beginners or students who prefer a more relaxed style where they hold poses longer.Hatha yoga is one of the most sought after and chosen style of yoga in the world and that’s not all, hatha yoga has strong philosophy behind this and I will illustrate most of them in this post.

Hatha yoga is composed of six parts but very less people know that and are only aware of the two which are asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control), alongside that hatha yoga is the most common type of yoga in the world and one of the ancient, classical style too. The traditional hatha Yoga is slightly different from the contemperory hatha yoga and both has different goals, benefits, importance, etc. Traditional hatha yoga is chosen and practiced more because it is less body oriented, on the other hand, modern hatha styles are focused more on the physical body.
