FAQs:

What is Hatha Yoga?

Hatha yoga focuses on posture and breathing techniques, traditionally to channel vital energy sources. In Sanskrit, Hatha translates to force. The practice involves breath, body, and mind, and classes are usually 45 minutes to 90 minutes of breathing, yoga poses, and meditation. Hatha yoga breathing techniques can be traced back to the 1st Century in both Buddhist and Hindu texts, but it was another 1,000 years before the use of yoga postures, or asanas, and breath control was recorded to enhance vital energy.

What is Hatha Yoga Good For?

Hatha Yoga is usually taught as a householder path with a focus on the physical attainment of the poses. Hatha practices are designed to align, cleanse and calm your body, mind, and spirit in order to achieve deeper states of meditation and spiritual realization. Regular practice can improve strength, stamina, flexibility, range of motion, and balance; reduce stress; promote mental calm; and provide many other therapeutic benefits as well. The many different styles or schools of Hatha Yoga have more specific benefits. For example, if you wish to build strength and cardiovascular health, try a more vigorous style of yoga like vinyasa yoga, ashtanga, or power yoga.

What is the Difference Between Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga?

Hatha and Vinyasa yoga share many of the same poses. In their own ways, they each emphasize controlled, conscious breathing to help you relax and improve your fitness. The biggest difference between them is the pace at which you change from one pose to the next.

- Vinyasa moves at a faster pace and requires greater breathing control than Hatha yoga.

- Because it’s done more slowly and poses are held for longer, Hatha yoga allows for more stretching.

- One way to sum up the differences is to picture Vinyasa yoga as a cardio workout and Hatha yoga as a stretching and flexibility workout.

When deciding which yoga approach is best for you, keep in mind that you can always try one style and switch to a different one if you find it isn’t well suited to your fitness or wellness goals.

Is Hatha Yoga Right for You? 

If you’re new to yoga, hatha yoga may be the right practice to start with. The slow-paced style can promote a relaxed environment to learn. Hatha yoga may make menopause easier. Early studies show that Hatha can improve symptoms including hot flashes and sleep problems. Hatha yoga has also been found to help with issues such as blood clotting, immune function, and blood pressure. If you prefer to start your day with yoga, hatha yoga may be the right choice. A Hatha practice can improve morning stiffness and stress levels. It may also set a relaxed tone for the rest of your day.

What are the Differences Between Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga?

Hatha yoga has seven limbs, while Ashtanga yoga has eight limbs. Hatha yoga starts with physical postures and eventually leads to meditation while Ashtanga yoga focuses on the self, and then moves to the practice of physical postures. Hatha yoga is best for beginners. Once you command Hatha yoga, the yoga aspirants can start learning Ashtanga yoga to lead a purposeful life.

Is Hatha Yoga Only for Beginners?

Hatha is great for beginners and more experienced yogis. Because Hatha tends to be a slower form of yoga with a greater emphasis on pose instruction (versus simply performing them), it's a great type of yoga for beginners. Hatha could also be good for anyone who has a difficult time focusing. Poses tend to be broken down, so your mind can't wander as much. You get brought back to action over and over again. As long as you're in reasonably good physical condition, you should be well-suited for Hatha. That said, if you have certain health conditions (like a risk of blood clots, a herniated disk, glaucoma, etc.), chat with your doctor before giving Hatha a go. And if you're pregnant? Know that yoga is generally safe (you can even find specific prenatal yoga classes), but it's probably best to steer clear of certain poses. Again, it's probably a good idea to chat with your doc beforehand to determine what's best for you.

Is Hatha Yoga Good for Back Pain?

A 2019 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that Hatha yoga helped relieve back pain as well as conventional therapeutic exercises in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. You don’t have to bend yourself into a pretzel to benefit from Hatha yoga. Even simple poses provide a gentle stretch that can help ease chronic back pain. Yoga poses focus on proper posture and spinal alignment that maintains normal spinal curvature. But, be mindful of yoga poses that involve simultaneous bending and twisting movements, as these are not recommended for everyone with a back and/or neck condition. Always talk with your doctor before beginning any exercise program, including yoga.

How Hatha Yoga is Different from Other Styles?

Hatha Yoga is an ancient yoga practice, there are many differences from other modern yoga styles:

- In Hatha, asanas are held steady for a duration of 1-5 minutes. Most of the modern styles are dynamic and hold poses only briefly.

- In Hatha, the metabolism decreases compared to other yoga styles.

- In Hatha, asanas focus on internal organs and the spine whereas in other styles focus is on muscle groups and joints.

- In Hatha, the body goes through less wear and tear compared to other styles.

- In Hatha, less oxygen is required as compared to other styles.

- In Hatha, the stillness of body and mind is given more importance than movement.

Can Everyone Do Hatha Yoga?

No, even though it is an extremely beneficial style of Yoga. There are some people who should not attend a regular Hatha Yoga class (they might find great benefits in an adapted Hatha Yoga class though!). The following group of people will find Hatha Yoga too challenging and will find more benefits in some gentler form of yoga like Yin Yoga or Chair Yoga.

- Very senior citizens.

- People go through extensive injury recovery.

- People with neck or spinal injury.

- People with severe knee issues.

What is the Difference Between Hatha and Yin Yoga?

Hatha and yin yoga have quite a few differences between them aside from their names alone.        

The primary difference between these two types of exercise is that one focuses on building stamina and flexibility. At the same time, the other concentrates more on restoring your body and improving your mental state of being. Hatha yoga is about going through a series of poses that involve large amounts of stretching, while yin yoga consists of holding certain positions for a longer period. Both approaches have their benefits, but if you want to stretch out your muscles more or get rid of all that stress from work/life/etc., yin yoga might be the better choice for you. If you’re looking to build lean muscle mass instead, it’s probably best if you practice Hatha Yoga instead. Or better yet, why not combine both?

What Does Hatha Mean?

In the most simple terms, Hatha means the practice of physical postures in conjunction with proper breathing. Although it is commonly seen as a distinct style, Hatha is the basis of many other newer yoga types, such as Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar yoga, and Power Yoga.

History of Hatha Yoga

Classical Hatha yoga was developed in the 15th century and included guidance for practicing yoga, asanas, pranayama or breathing exercises, mudras or hand gestures, and meditation for personal spiritual growth.

Hatha yoga was brought to America by Swami Vivekananda in 1893 as a spiritual practice. In the 1920s, yogis combined asanas with other popular exercises of the day to create a flowing style of yoga that was more physical than spiritual.

By the 1950s, hatha yoga was introduced to millions of households across America with Richard Hittleman's popular TV program "Yoga For Health."

A few years later, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the spiritual advisor to The Beatles, brought a new dimension of yoga to the mainstream with a combination of transcendental meditation and yoga and its popularity soared. Today, hatha yoga is well-known both as a physical and spiritual practice for mind-body health.

The Purpose of Hatha Yoga

A Hatha Yoga practice may be used by anyone as a way to increase fitness, improve health, attain or restore greater balance and connectedness of mind-body-spirit, and develop mental focus and discipline. With the help of a skilled teacher and credible resources, incorporating other Yoga techniques into a physical Hatha Yoga practice may open the door to attaining additional health benefits, enhanced stress management, and a more meaningful Hatha Yoga experience.

Six Principles of Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga is six-limb yoga (Shatanga Yoga). These six limbs are:

1. Asana – a steady comfortable state of body and mind

2. Pranayama – expansion of capacity to retain prana

3. Pratyahara – withdrawal from the sensory input

4. Dharana – bringing the mind to one single point

5. Dhyana – observing the self

6. Samadhi – becoming free from Maya

So the first two limbs of Raja Yoga; Yamas & Niyamas are excluded in Hatha Yoga.

Traditional Hatha Yoga Poses

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika describes fifteen physical poses. Some of the names of these postures have changed over time and the instructions and alignment details have also shifted in modern yoga. It is interesting that many of these classical asanas are seated meditation poses and several are very advanced and challenging poses.

1. Svastikasana – Auspicious Pose

2. Gomukhasana – Cow-Facing Pose

3. Virasana – Hero’s Pose

4. Kurmasana – Tortoise Pose

5. Kukkutasana – Cockerel or Rooster Pose

6. Uttana Kurmasana – Tortoise Pose

7. Dhanurasana – Bow Pose

8. Matsyendrasana – Seated Twisting Pose

9. Paschimatanasana – Seated Forward Bending Pose

10. Mayurasana – Peacock Pose

11. Shavasana – Corpse Pose

12. Siddhasana – Accomplished Pose

13. Padmasana – Lotus Pose

14. Simhasana – Lion Pose

15. Bhadrasana – Throne Pose

Hatha Yoga Sequence

Instructors design  Hatha yoga sequences to suit the needs of the class and their personal preferences, so there’s no set Hatha yoga sequence like there is in other forms like Ashtanga. However, most classes will often include a sun salutation toward the start of your class. Even these have variations but the basic sequence is usually as follows:

- Start standing in mountain pose

- Fold forward into standing forward bend

- Step back into to lunge

- Step back into a plank pose

- Lower to the matt either onto your knees, chest, and chin or Chaturanga Dandasana which is a yoga press up

- Cobra or upward-facing dog

- Downward-facing dog

- Step forward to lunge

- Step forward into forward fold

- Rise up to standing

Each movement connects to inhaling or exhaling and additional poses can be introduced to make the sequence more challenging.

Health Benefits of Hatha Yoga

Yogis have long touted the calming and wellness benefits of practicing yoga. Today, research supports many of these claims.

The National Institutes of Health's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health analyzed dozens of peer-reviewed studies and while most of the research was performed on small numbers of subjects, they found evidence to suggest yoga may be beneficial for the following conditions.

1. Anxiety and depression: Yoga can help relieve everyday anxiety and depressive symptoms, however, it may not be effective for clinically diagnosed mental health conditions. The NCCIH reviewed 68 published studies on yoga and did not find conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness for managing anxiety disorder, depression, or PTSD.

2. Arthritis and fibromyalgia: According to the NCCIH, there is weak evidence to support yoga has benefits for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.

3. Back pain: The American College of Physicians recommends yoga as a non-drug method to treat back pain.2 A 2018 review of eight studies by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality found yoga improves low-back pain and function with both short-term and intermediate-term benefits, and its effects are similar to other types of exercise.

4. Balance: Yoga helps to improve balance in healthy people, according to 11 out of 15 studies reviewed by NIH.

5. Emotional health: Yoga has a positive impact on mental health and was shown to have benefits of improving resilience or general mental well-being in 10 out of 14 studies reviewed by NCCIH.

6. Menopause: Yoga can relieve physical and psychological symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, according to the NCCIH review of more than 1,300 study participants.

7. Mindfulness: In a 2018 survey of 1,820 young adults published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, participants attributed greater mindfulness, motivation to participate in other forms of activity and eat healthier, and the influence of a health-minded yoga community to practicing yoga regularly.

How to Start Your Hatha Yoga Practice

Many people begin a Hatha practice naturally when they are first starting their yoga journey. You can attend a Hatha class in a studio, or follow along with Youtubers, but if you want to begin your practice at home start with the following outline:

1. Breathe: Notice your breath. Once you feel grounded, begin to lengthen the inhales and exhales, and maybe place a hand on your belly to feel it rise and fall. Continue for about 3-5 minutes.

2. Meditate: Once you feel completely present through the breath, you can begin to breathe naturally and allow the mind to be at ease. If your thoughts drift, it’s okay! It’s part of the practice! Just bring it back to the breath or present moment.

3. Beginner Asanas: If you are familiar with any poses, work your way through a few and hold for at least five breaths. This part of the practice can be as short or as long as your body is comfortable with it.

4. Savasana: At the end of your asana practice, dim the lights and maybe put on a calming song. Allow your body to completely relax and completely soak up the Hatha practice.

The Different Hatha Yoga Props

Depending on your needs, you might use a handful of yoga props to help you get the most out of your practice. Though most studios will let you borrow props or rent them for a small fee, you consider buying your own planning on practicing multiple times a week or flowing through sequences at home.

1. Yoga mat: In general, a standard 1/8-inch yoga mat with a slightly grippy texture that keeps your joints supported and slip-free will do for a Hatha yoga practice. But if you're set on Ashtanga or Power yoga, opt for a mat that offers more grip so you don't slide off the mat as you work up a sweat.

2. Yoga block(s): If your hand can't reach the ground while you're in a triangle pose, you can use a yoga block to bring the floor closer to you, which creates a deeper stretch while preventing you from crunching your spine.

3. Yoga strap: Similarly, yoga straps can help create more space between the shoulders and encourage a feel-good stretch while you practice cow face.

4. Yoga blanket: Yoga blankets can also be used to cushion joints while you perform a low lunge or sit in a butterfly pose.

What to Expect in a Hatha Yoga Class

There are several different styles of yoga to choose from today. If a class is just labeled yoga, it is likely the Hatha variety. Hatha is considered a gentle yoga that focuses on static poses and is great for beginners. However, even though it is gentle, it can still be physically and mentally challenging.

While each class varies depending on the instructor, most classes last between 45 minutes and 90 minutes. Classes typically start with a gentle warm-up, advance to more physical poses, and end with a short period of meditation. Here's a breakdown of a typical class:

1. Breathing: Most Hatha yoga classes start with a period of focus on your breath or pranayama. As you go through the poses, your teacher will continue to remind you to focus on your breath and may offer different breathing exercises to try.

2. Poses: Yoga poses, also called postures or asanas, are a series of movements that help improve balance, flexibility, and strength. Poses range in difficulty from laying flat on the floor to physically challenging positions. If at any time during your class, a pose is too difficult, your instructor can provide you with a modified posture.

3. Meditation: Most classes end with a short period of meditation. During this period of quiet reflection, your teacher may ask you to lie on your back and may cover you with a blanket. Some instructors may take you through a guided meditation or may use Tibetan singing bowls.
