Traditional Hatha Yoga is ancient and intelligent. A complete and comprehensive system that balances and stabilises the body’s energy channels.
If you’ve found yourself in a Hatha class, especially if you’re used to more modern Yoga styles, you’ll notice it feels different.
Instead of offering constant, fluid movement, there is an emphasis on creating stability in the body and mind.
You might notice thoughts emerge.
Maybe frustrations; “I don’t want to stay in this shape”, “this feels slow and boring”, “I need to sweat and get my heart rate up”.
When we hold a challenging asana, we get to meet that voice of the mind. We allow these stories to emerge and float to the surface, so we can dissolve them within the safety of the mat.
This is why we practice.
It’s not to look a particular way, or hit a fitness goal. It is to purge the mind of those niggling persistent thoughts. To remind the voice that it is not in control. Though it can be confronting to meet those thoughts, so notice them as they emerge.
If you’re new to Hatha, welcome. It is quite unlike any other practice 🧡
