When one decides to become a Yoga teacher, there are many responsibilities. We are obligated to keep our students safe, teach them about holistic health, and to guide them toward states of relaxation and meditation. The physical style we know as Hatha is more than an exercise session. Hatha is one of the most widely recognized forms of Yoga. It can also the most gentle or very vigorous, depending on the teacher and form.
Many of the asanas are designed to stretch the body, with breathing techniques that are done in conjunction with the movements. Meditation is also a large part of Hatha Yoga, especially before and after. Many people who try it find themselves feeling more focused and calm after a session in comparison to before. It does require a certain amount of concentration, and that probably helps the body and the mind to let go of stress and instead focus on what the body really needs.
There are a number of styles that fall under the category of Hatha. Some of them might be more physically challenging than others. One of the key things to remember is that even if the poses are gentle and may not feel as if they are having an effect on the body or mind at the time of practice, that doesn’t mean benefits won’t be seen later. Many people have faithfully practiced Yoga but weren’t sure they were getting anything from the session until afterward, as the feelings of relaxation that were released from the mind through the stretching of the body are fully realized.
