Traditional Hatha yoga is a practice that falls under a broad category encompassing most yoga styles. It is an old system involving the practice of asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control). Classes typically focus on one pose at a time with rest intervals, making it a static practice that is particularly suitable for beginners.
The benefits of Traditional Hatha yoga include improved flexibility, strength, and mental clarity. Breathing exercises help enhance lung capacity and promote relaxation. This methodical approach allows practitioners to develop a deeper understanding of each pose, enhancing body awareness and alignment.
