A Complete Path for Body, Breath, and Mind

Hatha Yoga is a traditional system of yoga designed to prepare the body and mind for higher spiritual practices. Unlike common misconceptions that see it as just physical exercise, Hatha Yoga is a complete discipline that balances energy, strengthens the body, and stabilizes the mind to achieve inner clarity and meditation.

The word Haṭha comes from Sanskrit:

• Ha — Sun, representing active, outward energy (prāṇa)

• Tha — Moon, representing receptive, inward energy (apāna)

Hatha Yoga is the art of harmonizing these energies within the body, so the mind becomes calm, the breath smooth, and the nervous system balanced.

• Steady and comfortable poses that strengthen the body and make long meditation possible.

• Emphasis on alignment, stability, and inner awareness.
