Hatha yoga is a classical form of yoga that emphasizes holding poses for longer durations, focusing on correct alignment, and controlled breathing (pranayama). It's a slower-paced practice designed to build a strong foundation and deep body awareness.
Benefits:

Wear comfortable clothing. A yoga mat is necessary. Props like blocks and straps can be helpful and are often provided or available for purchase.
What is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing practice that uses props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to support the body in passive stretches. Poses are held for extended periods, allowing for complete relaxation and release of physical and mental tension.
Benefits:
- Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting "rest and digest."
- Reduces chronic stress, anxiety, and fatigue.
- Improves flexibility and range of motion gently.
- Enhances sleep quality and overall well-being.
