​

What is Hatha Yoga?

The Sanskrit word हठ haṭha literally means "force" and thus alludes to a system of physical techniques. In a typical Hatha Yoga class, we usually practise foundation yoga poses or asana in a more static fashion. The breakdown is about 60% static, 40% dynamic practice. 

​

​

What is the difference between Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga? 

Both classes practise very similar yoga poses. Vinyasa Yoga classes focuse more on regulating the breath and have more dynamic flow linking the poses together. It is the transition of the poses that make the class more challenging. Hatha yoga is slightly more static but can be equally challenging with slower and mindful movements throughout the practice. 

​

Suitability:

All yoga classes are suitable for beginners.
