Hatha yoga refers to the direction of yoga where the main goal of the practice is the physical health of a person. Hatha followers believe that the state of complete health brings a person closer to higher truths and harmony as never before.

Hatha yoga involves all the elements of the practice such as:

• Asanas and vinyasas
• Bandhi (energy locks for interacting with internal energy)
• Pranayama (breathing exercises)
• Mudras (the position of the fingers in certain poses)
• Meditation (to relax the body and mind of a person)

This style of yoga is a kind of preparation of the mind and body of a person for the next stage of the spiritual path.

Hatha yoga develops flexibility, balance, and strength as well as helps to discipline the mind, stabilize your emotional state, activate your inner energy, and improve your physical health. This style is great for both beginners and advanced practitioners since it offers a wide variety of poses and meditations.
