Hatha yoga focuses on slower-paced physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to preserve and channel vital energy throughout the body. During a Hatha yoga class, poses are held longer than in faster-paced flow-style yoga classes. This style of YogaYoga is well-suited for beginners and individuals who prefer a more gentle and mindful approach to physical activity. It can effectively reduce stress and cultivate a heightened awareness of the mind-body connection.
