500 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course In Nepal

What is Hatha Yoga?

Yoga actually means union. Here we are talking about the union of ‘Ha’ and ‘Tha’. They are none other than the sun and the moon. There is one energy that governs the universe, and you can be privy to it, when you face the union of the two opposite forces of nature or the universe. Hatha Yoga is basically a preparatory yoga form, where you bring balance between the two nadis or channels, the Ida nadi and the Pingala nadi. Hatha Yoga is also considered as the classical form of yoga. You will master Hatha Yoga today, at Shree Hari Yoga School.
