Hatha Yoga

Learn more about this relaxing practice

Haṭha yoga is a branch of yoga. The Sanskrit word हठ haṭha literally means "force" and thus alludes to a system of physical techniques. The practice involves breath, body, and mind. Hatha and Vinyasa yoga incorporate many of the same poses.
The main difference is the pacing of the classes. Vinyasa moves at a faster pace and requires greater breathing control than Hatha yoga. Because it's done more slowly and poses are held for longer, Hatha yoga allows for more stretching.
