hatha yoga
Breath and poses
Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga emphasizing physical postures and breathing techniques.
It forms the basis of most yoga practiced in the West—the stretching, balancing, and holding of poses in a studio class.
The term distinguishes this physical practice from more meditative or devotional forms of yoga: I take hatha yoga on Tuesdays.
