Hatha is the foundational basis of most physical yoga styles. It focuses on holding individual physical postures (asanas) while practicing deliberate breathing techniques (pranayama). Compared to fast-paced Vinyasa flows, Hatha moves at a slower, more deliberate pace.Â
​
Holding asanas while focusing on breath and alignment physically maximises joint mobility and muscular endurance, mentally anchors you in the present to reduce stress, and neurologically balances your nervous system.Â
Expect a balanced, steady session. A typical 60-minute class includes a gentle warm-up, a series of standing and seated postures held for several breaths each, breathing expansion exercises (pranayama), and a final deep relaxation (Savasana).
Yes, it is perfect for beginners. Because postures are held for longer, you have plenty of time to learn the correct alignment, set up your props, and get comfortable with each movement without feeling rushed.
