Hatha yoga
Hatha yoga is considered the traditional Indian yoga style. Many old and contemporary styles are based on Hatha yoga. This style tends to be slower-paced and with varying sequences. The practice of Hatha yoga balances the sun and moon energy within the body and transforms the lower chakra energies to higher levels.
Hatha yoga's depth lies in its teaching of the Ashtanga path or eight-fold way. Every pose in Hatha should be practiced with awareness, respecting the body's limitations.
To enrich your practice, Oceanic Yoga has incorporated alignment principles as taught by the world-famous yoga teacher Sri BKS Iyengar. The emphasis with the Iyengar method is on gradually building awareness and familiarity for the correct alignment of the yoga postures. So, as you can see, Hatha yoga is the foundational practice for all yoga students.
