Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises (known as asanas or postures), designed to align your skin, muscles and bones. Hatha yoga is a powerful tool for self-transformation. It asks us to bring our attention to our breath, which helps us to still the fluctuations of the mind and be more present in the unfolding of each moment.
