If you are looking for yoga practice Beijing can offer a wide range of studios and styles. At Hatha Yoga Beijing we offer beginners yoga to advanced yoga under the watchful eye of our expert teachers. The word 'Hatha' - in Sanskrit (an ancient classical language of India) “Ha” means “sun” and “tha” means “moon” is a type of Yoga that is relatively slow paced and gentle in its movements. Hatha Yoga Beijing is a good place to start if you are completely new to Yoga in Beijing and don't know any of the asanas (poses). But as you learn the poses become more complex and like all types of Yoga, Hatha Yoga aims to unite the mind, body and spirit.
Etymology - Yoga Practice Beijing
When both 'Ha' and 'tha' are put together as one word - Hatha - it then means 'forceful'. This implies that powerful work must be done to purify the body. When studying Yoga an understanding of its origins are important. The word Yoga means to yoke, or to join two things together, hence Hatha Yoga is meant to join together sun (masculine, active) energy with the moon (feminine, receptive) energy, thus producing balance and greater power in an individual. We feel at Hatha Yoga Beijing the everyday stress of life can easily be forgotten and controlled by practicing with us.
Physical - Beginners Yoga Beijing
Hatha Yoga is one of the two branches of Yoga that focuses on the physical culture, the other one being Raja Yoga. Both of these are commonly referred to as Sadanga Yoga, i.e., Yoga of six parts ('sad' meaning six and 'anga' meaning limbs).
Stress relief - Hatha Yoga Beijing
Hatha represents opposing energies: hot and cold (fire and water, following similar concept as yin-yang), male and female, positive and negative. Hatha yoga attempts to balance mind and body via physical postures or "asanas", purification practices, controlled breathing, and the calming of the mind through relaxation and meditation. Asanas teach poise, balance and strength and are practised to improve the body's physical health and clear the mind in preparation for meditation in the pursuit of enlightenment.
