Hatha

Hatha is a branch of yoga focusing on a slow, deliberate practice of physical postures (asanas) and breathing techniques ( pranayama) to balance the body and mind. The term "Hatha" in Sanskrit means "forceful" and combines "ha" (sun) and "tha" (moon), symbolizing the balancing of vital energies. Modern Hatha yoga classes often emphasize holding poses for several breaths, making them a gentler and more accessible introduction for beginners and those seeking stress reduction.

Meditation / Pranayama

Meditation is a practice in which an individual uses a technique such as mindfulness or focuses the mind on a particular object, thought or activity so as to achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm and stable state.
Meditation is a standard part of Yoga . You will learn to breathe as you move through your practice. We finish all our classes with 5-10min meditation/ relaxation /savasana.
Pranayama is control of breath "Prana" is Breath or vital energy in the body. On subtle levels prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and "ayama" means control. So Pranayama is "Control of Breath".
