Hatha YogaHatha Yoga focuses on physical and mental strength building exercises and postures and is great for most trail runners as it helps them maintain balance in all aspects of their running. Hatha yoga practice incorporates postures (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama), and relaxation techniques.
Most forms of yoga practiced in the West come under the broad umbrella of Hatha Yoga, including Ashtanga, Iyengar and Bikram Yoga classes. Hatha yoga teachers will usually draw from all these different styles of yoga, depending on their own style of teaching, to provide a balanced yoga class. |
