It is often considered the most traditional form of yoga and is a good option for beginners. The word "hatha" is a combination of two words "ha" meaning "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon," indicating the balance of opposing forces in the body.

It is a practice that involves guided meditation, visualization, and body awareness, and is typically done lying down in a comfortable position. The practice of Yoga Nidra is said to help reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia, and improve overall well-being by allowing the body and mind to fully relax and release tension.

Ashtanga yoga

Ashtanga yoga is a type of yoga that combines physical postures, breath control, and focus on the gaze (drishti) to create a flow of movement. It is a dynamic and physically demanding practice that follows a specific sequence of postures. The practice is traditionally led by a teacher, and students memorize the sequence and practice it independently. The word "Ashtanga" means "eight limbs" in Sanskrit, and refers to the eight elements of yoga outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, which includes ethical guidelines, physical postures, breath control, sense withdrawal, concentration, meditation, and ultimate goal of self-realization.

It is a practice in yoga that involves controlling the breath in various ways, such as through different breathing patterns, rhythms and duration, which can have a powerful effect on the body and mind. It is believed that by practicing pranayama, one can gain control over the life force or prana, improve overall health and well-being, and ultimately lead to spiritual enlightenment.
