Summary Hatha yoga is a system of physical yoga techniques. Hatha yoga, particularly asanas (the physical postures), is popular throughout the world as a set of physical exercises, and is now colloquially termed 'yoga'. But yoga is more than just an exercise; it's a way of spiritual living that has been growing in popularity throughout the years. Achieve perfect flexibility while minimizing injury, with tools and training on the following subjects: Finding the proper equipment: which mat works best for you. Warm-up stretches and why they are important. Corrective exercises to improve your balance and flexibility. Details how to achieve each pose, or asana, and properly align your body to begin a daily routine that will provide you with a calm focus while improving your strength, flexibility, balance, and posture. Which muscles are the main targets of each asana, each asana's benefits and cautions, and tips on perfecting your form. Here you'll find all the information you need to help you avoid common injuries and become the best yogi you can be!
