Hatha Yoga is a branch of ancient practices that includes intentional breath work, postures, relaxation and meditation.

This style is well known for developing strength and increasing flexibility, but was traditionally practiced to help balance and preserve vital life force energy and to prepare the body for long periods of time in seated meditation.
