Hatha Yoga
The style of yoga combines elements from many traditions which come together under the name of Hatha Yoga. This is a style that is suitable for people of any age and ability. It focuses on being fully aware of your body and your breath in different yoga postures – firstly through movement, then through stillness. It includes specific breathing practices and deep relaxation techniques.
One of the most important aspects of Hatha yoga is keeping the attention within the body throughout the session. Practising the postures in a disciplined way will bring increased flexibility, strength and poise to your body and mind.
The yoga sessions include aspects of Patanjali's eight-fold path of Raja-yoga (also known as Royal or Classical Yoga). These are yama (universal moral observances), niyama (personal moral observances), asana (postures), pranayama (breathing practices), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dyhana (meditation) and samadhi (absorption).
