Hatha yoga is the root of all modern physical yoga practices. "Ha" represents the sun or masculine energy, while "Tha" represents the moon or feminine energy. The name itself symbolizes the practice's core goal — balancing opposing forces within body and mind to achieve harmonious unity.

Hatha yoga classes typically have a slower pace, giving practitioners ample time to stay in each pose, feel, and adjust. Teachers emphasize proper body alignment and breath coordination, helping you build a solid foundation. This detailed practice approach effectively prevents injury and lays groundwork for learning other yoga styles.

If you're new to yoga, or want to return to basics and improve alignment, Hatha yoga is an excellent choice. The unhurried practice gives you space to explore your body and learn to listen to its needs. At Tapas Yoga, Hatha classes welcome students of all levels, allowing everyone to find their suitable practice pace.
