Himalayan Hatha Yoga is one of the forms of yoga founded and taught by Yogi Ashokananda. It is based on traditional principles of yoga. A strong, yet supportive form of yoga, working through the entire body, cleansing and revitalising through special sequencing with a combination of subtle body exercise. The focus of Himalayan Hatha Yoga is on inner body strength, breath, accuracy and alignment of the asanas, with consistent regard for a safe, healthy and balanced practice. To achieve this requires a strong connection with the breath and the body, which evolves over time through discipline and practice. The philosophy is embedded in the practice itself, and the spiritual benefits occur through the physicality of it.
