Hatha Yoga is the physical expression of the science of yoga. Symbol of the unity between the sun and the moon, the practise is essentially using asanas or body postures to train our body to attain perfect health.
There are plenty of differents postures with many levels of execution, with a accent on stretching the muscles and ligaments in order to relax the body during the asana.
The Yoga practise includes pranayama, the science of breathing to activate and generate more prana (life force energy) in our body.
Yoga is known as a body mind spirit philosophy which has a deep spiritual meaning. Developed since thousands of years in India, Yoga has found its principles and basis with the treaty of Patanjali Yoga Sutras written in the 8th century . Dividing yoga in 8 main paths, Patanjali has created a real map of experience for every true seeker.
Strength and flexibility, body sculpting and physical health, mental peace and emotional balance are real benefits from a regular practise of Yoga.
