Introduction: What is Hatha Yoga? Hatha Yoga is one of the most widely practiced branches of yoga in the modern world. The word Hatha is often translated as "forceful" or "willful," but its deeper meaning comes from the Sanskrit syllables: Ha (sun) and Tha (moon). Thus, Hatha Yoga represents the union of opposing energies—masculine/feminine, active/receptive, hot/cold, solar/lunar—within the practitioner.
