Hatha is actually an umbrella term for all forms of physical yoga, although it is more commonly known as a particular style in which the focus is on alignment.

The Sanskrit word “Ha” means “sun”. While the word “Tha” means “moon”. Hatha, therefore, is often said to refer to the masculine energy of the sun and the feminine energy of the moon. Both energies are within each of us, although a lot of the time they’re out of balance.

Hatha yoga aims to restore this balance, in a deeply nurturing practice.
