Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga emphasizes held poses and alignment at a slower pace—foundational strength and breath work for beginners and athletes building control.
Hatha yoga is a slower, pose-focused practice that holds shapes longer than vinyasa—building alignment, strength, and breath awareness without continuous flow. Classes often pair standing poses, seated stretches, and brief relaxation.
It suits beginners and athletes who need joint control before adding speed. Two to three sessions weekly complement lifting without extra impact stress.
