Hatha yoga is a static kind of yoga. In this yoga we do different static poses or asanas for a certain amount of time. Asana means a stable and comfortable position. Comfort and harmony is key to success in hatha yoga or any other kind of yoga. You do not have to have a physically trained body like that of a gymnast or a professional athlete to begin practicing hatha yoga. Yoga is open to everyone.

There is an opinion, that all treatises are notes left by the teachers, and all important things were passed from the Teacher to the student in personal conversation. Our school does not agree with this statement. Teachers do not lie. If they hide something, they would write down the most important. And there are that sort of directions, if there are phrases like this: do this pose as you are told by your Teacher! But there are very few of them.

What attitude should one have towards hatha yoga practice? Should one learn everything alone or better find a teacher? Should one attend certain classes where yoga is given or better buy a self-help manual and study step by step? The answer to this question is not that ambiguous as it might seem at first sight.

Hatha yoga poses - asanas
In the West, with the word "yoga" we often understand Hatha yoga. If you ask people on the street what is yoga, the majority will tell you that yoga means different physical exercises for your body. The fact is that yoga of static exercises, called hatha yoga, was the most popular kind of yoga and is the one which has remained the most intact. In fact, there are as many kinds of yoga as there are different aspects of a human life.
Hatha yoga is poses. What poses can they be? For example: sit down, straighten your legs and lift your body supporting the palms of your hands. That’s all! This is a pose of hatha yoga. It’s not difficult. You don’t have to fling your leg around your neck, to sit in lotus pose. Another one – bend your leg, cross it over another leg and twist over the crossed leg to another side but just according to your flexibility. Now let’s do this to the other side.
So let’s begin. We believe it’s quite possible to explain complicated things in easy-to-understand terms even to fresh beginners so that a person making the first steps in yoga could get the essence of hatha yoga, realize its value as well as put it into practice in the daily life.
