What Is Hatha Yoga?
Hatha Yoga is a branch of yoga that emphasises physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation to cultivate balance, strength, flexibility, and mental focus. Hatha yoga is a complete spiritual pathway, integrating all aspects of ourselves to find balance and growth.
Hatha Yoga aims to prepare the body and mind for deeper spiritual practices by harmonizing the dual energies of “Ha” (sun) and “Tha” (moon), representing vitality and calmness. Unlike faster-paced yoga styles like Vinyasa, Hatha Yoga typically involves slower, more deliberate movements with a focus on holding poses for longer periods to deepen inner awareness and alignment.
Our new yoga studio at 8 The Crescent, Plymouth, PL1 3AB
Group and one-to-one yoga classes available.
Classes…
Group classes are for mixed abilities, including complete beginners. No previous experience of yoga, or special degree of physical ability, required. All postures can be modified as needed.
Each class includes a combination of asana (yoga pose) practice, pranayama (breath work), relaxation/meditation, and yoga spiritual teachings/philosophy.
Within each class we explore different aspects of yoga spiritual teachings and philosophy. Each class has a theme, or ‘sankalpa’, as a focus to help deepen our practice and develop inner awareness and growth.
