Signature Protocol
Hatha Yoga
A traditional form balancing solar (ha) and lunar (tha) energies in the body through breath and body control.
Protocol Anatomy
Hatha Yoga is the classical foundation from which most modern yoga derived. The word 'Hatha' signifies a union of opposites: 'Ha' referring to the active, heating energy of the sun, and 'tha' to the cooling, passive energy of the moon. This practice is typically slower-paced than Vinyasa, holding fundamental postures statically to explore their subtleties and alignment, combined with specific pranayama (breathing) exercises to balance the nervous system.
Clinical & Holistic Benefits
