what is hatha yoga - #25673
I am dealing with some stress and tension lately and thought about trying something new, like yoga. I keep hearing about hatha yoga and I’m kinda curious about it. Like, what is hatha yoga exactly? I thought yoga was just about stretching, but I’ve read it can also help with breathing and relaxation. Does hatha yoga include those aspects too? I’m not super flexible, honestly, but I’ve seen classes for beginners, I wanna know if they really cater to new folks like me. My friend mentioned how hatha yoga helps balance the mind and body, but I’m not sure what that means in practice. Is it mostly meditation or postures? Plus, can it really help reduce anxiety? Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and could definitely use some coping techniques. Is hatha yoga better in a group or is it okay to practice alone at home? Anyone tried it who can share their experience? I’m just trying to wrap my head around what is hatha yoga and if it might actually help me feel a bit more grounded and relaxed. Any advice would be great!
