Hatha Yoga Amsterdam & The Hague

Hatha yoga is the connecting of opposites. “Ha” means sun and “Tha” means the moon. Yoga is the connection The connection between body and mind, through the breath. Hatha yoga is powerful on the one hand, and relaxing on the other. It strengthens and relaxes the body and relaxes the mind. The breath is the bearing force of every movement. Concentration on the breath creates a meditative attention that leads to stillness. The attention goes in, to yourself. You work from physical awareness to inner awareness, creating more balance in your total thinking. This brings you into contact with yourself, your environment and teaches you to deal better with what comes to you in daily life. This creates balance.

The effect of Hatha yoga:

• Strengthening the body
