Hatha Yoga, the foundation of many modern yoga practices, is a timeless discipline that balances strength, flexibility, and mindfulness through a blend of physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation. The word “Hatha” symbolizes the union of opposites—sun (ha) and moon (tha)—reflecting its focus on harmonizing body and mind. At Yogsharan, Nina, a Yoga Alliance USA-certified teacher with 500 hours of training, channels her eight years of experience, starting from her transformative journey in Rishikesh, India, to guide you through this grounding and restorative practice.
Hatha Yoga is perfect for those seeking a slower-paced, intentional practice that builds physical strength while fostering mental clarity and emotional balance. Its gentle yet powerful approach makes it ideal for addressing physical conditions like back pain, PCOS, PCOD, or obesity, as well as mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression.
