Hatha Yoga in Vilnius Old Town

What is Hatha yoga?

Hatha yoga is one of the oldest and most widely practised styles of yoga. It took shape in India about a thousand years ago. The word “Hatha” joins two syllables: “Ha” (sun) and “Tha” (moon). Together they stand for the balance of opposites: effort and rest, strength and flexibility.

Each practice combines three elements:

• Asanas (poses) strengthen the muscles and improve posture and flexibility.
• Pranayama (breathing exercises) calms the nervous system.
• Meditation helps you bring your attention to the present moment.

Hatha yoga has a slower pace and mindful transitions between poses, so it suits both beginners and experienced students.

Hatha yoga classes at the studio

• Hatha Yoga Level I (1 hour): a calmer practice for beginners and anyone who wants to build solid foundations.

• Reset & Yoga (1 hour): a midday break for body and mind.
