What exactly Hatha yoga actually is hasn’t changed for thousands of years. However our thinking and perception of it certainly has. Language is a powerful thing, and in different cultures the same word can have a variety of definitions. Throughout the evolution of yoga practice, the same word – Hatha – has come to mean different things too.
Popular thinking ‘in the West’ (an all-too-common expression now), is that Hatha yoga is about balancing the body and mind. ‘Ha’ represents the esoteric sun, and ‘tha’ the moon. The practice of Hatha yoga aims to join, yoke, or balance these two energies.
A yoga class described as ‘Hatha’ will typically involve a set of physical postures (yoga poses) and breathing techniques. These are typically practised more slowly and with more static posture holds than a Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga class. And indeed, that is how we describe our Hatha yoga classes on EkhartYoga.
Literally however, Hatha means ‘force’ and is more traditionally defined as ‘the yoga of force’, or ‘the means of attaining a state of yoga through force’. So Hatha yoga can be considered as anything you might do with the body, including:
asana – yoga postures (practised in any style of ‘yoga’)
pranayama – breathing techniques
mantra – chanting or reciting
mudra – hand gestures
shatkriyas and shatkarmas – cleansing techniques
types of visualisation.
Mark Singleton – author of ‘Yoga Body’, and a Senior Research Fellow at SOAS London University – spoke at a lecture I attended. He remarked; “what’s physical and what’s not is up for question. No matter what one does, isn’t it all physical?”.

Do you remember those times when you and yourself were best friends? Where you enjoy playing or having endless conversations with you. What happened and this communication was lost? How did you cut off the only way to happiness and get to the point where you are afraid to listen to you? Do you know something ? Nothing was lost. Yourself is there inside of you waiting for you to give him space again. Talk and if he's a little angry and doesn't answer, give him some time. You turned your back on him and he needs to trust you. You just have to persist. #namaste🙏 #beyourself #loveyourself #selfcarefirst #selfawareness #selfjourney #yogapractice #meninyoga #forwardbend #asana#mendoyoga #yyt #yogateacher #yogateachertraining #relationalcoaching #yogachallenge #happiness #yogatime #yogaphotography #yogatherapy #yogalove https://www.instagram.com/p/ChouwHUMhOr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
