Hatha is a Sanskrit word that, in essence, means Sun & Moon as two types of energy within the body – one hot and one cool referring to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems – that come into balance with yoga movements, breathing and mental focus practices such as meditation. The result is that a practitioner leaves class feeling calmer, refreshed and thinking more clearly. A known side effect is that your body may become more supple, however, that is not the aim! So, there’s no need to feel intimidated because you think you’re stiff or too something or other about joining any of my sessions.
Although traditionally in India – the birthplace of yoga – Hatha refers to many yoga styles, in the west, it usually describes a gentle type of class – suitable for beginners and for people who prefer to ease into their body in a kind and mindful way.
