'Hatha' is a Sanskrit term translating to ‘sun’ (ha) and ‘moon’ (tha), indicating a balance of solar (heating) and lunar (cooling) energies. Hatha yoga is generally practiced more slowly and with more static posture holds. Students can expect a steady, mindful sequence of asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and dhyana (guided meditation).
