HATHA YOGA
A PATH TO BALANCE AND INNER CLARITY
Experience the essence of traditional yoga with our Hatha Yoga class, where classical asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), and savasana (relaxation) combine to rejuvenate your body and mind while building strength and flexibility.
Held in an intimate, supportive environment with small class sizes, this practice offers personalized guidance and a mindful pace suitable for all levels. Whether deepening your journey or progressing from our Yoga Basics class, Hatha Yoga at Rudrakshaa Yogashala reconnects you with your inner balance and vitality.
The Union Of Sun & Moon
The word Hatha is composed of two syllables with deep symbolic significance: "Ha" represents the sun -heat, action, and prana (vital life force); "Tha" symbolizes the moon - coolness, calm, and manas (mind). Together, they reflect the union of opposites: effort and surrender, movement and stillness, strength and softness. Hatha Yoga is the path that harmonizes these dualities, cultivating inner balance through conscious, disciplined practice.
In this class, students are introduced to the foundational principles of classical Hatha Yoga as taught in the traditional texts. Postures (asanas) are practiced not merely for flexibility, but to establish sthirata (steadiness) and sukhatä (ease), creating a stable base for deeper breath and mental focus.
Rather than moving quickly from pose to pose, the class follows a deliberate rhythm, allowing the body, breath, and awareness to synchronize fully.
A Practice of Steadiness, Ease, and Awareness
As the practice deepens, the nādīs (subtle energy channels) are gently cleansed and rebalanced, preparing the body and mind for breathwork and inner stillness.
You will explore:
Pranayama — breath regulation techniques to calm and focus the mind
Bandhas — energetic locks such as Müla Bandha (root lock) and Jälandhara Bandha (throat lock) to refine energetic flow and deepen inner awareness
Mudras — symbolic gestures or seals that support energetic alignment and enhance meditation
This Hatha Yoga class is for those seeking not just movement, but refinement of breath, posture, and perception.
Expect to practice classical postures such as Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Bhujangasana (Cobra) & Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose). There are also integrative sequences designed to enhance physical vitality, foster emotional calm, and cultivate mental clarity. (citta śuddhi)
Hatha Yoga is more than a method. It is a return to the essence of self. With breath as the guide and posture as the tool, it strengthens the body, steadies the mind, and nurtures a presence that extends far beyond the mat.
