Through physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), and meditation, Hatha yoga balances the energies within us, cultivating strength, flexibility, and mental clarity.
It can be translated as yoga of extreme strength.
The benefits of Hatha yoga extend beyond the physical body. It calms the mind, reduces stress, improves focus, and promotes emotional balance. As we align our body and breath, we quiet the chatter of daily life and connect with the stillness within—a space of deep peace where our true self resides.
Hatha yoga guides us to live in harmony with ourselves and the world around us, embodying the essence of who we truly are.

The mind can influence the body just as much the body can influence the mind, it is possible in certain cases to improve an individual's bodily functioning through a change in their mental attitude, but any change brought in this way will be temporary, unless fundamental bodily processes are significantly modified. On the other hand, working directly on restoring bodily functions such as breathing, movement, sensory perception and self-expression has an immediate and lasting effect on your mental attitude. - Alexander Lowen
