To melt into the tha of hatha is to embrace the cooling, receptive lunar energy of your practice. In Season 5, Episode 7 of Yoga Every Day, instructor Steph Schwartz invites you to step onto your mat for a gentle hatha yoga flow designed to quiet the mind and open the physical body.
This 15-minute morning hatha yoga practice requires no props, making it an accessible way to start your day with clear intention and mindful movement. By focusing on the meaning of ha and tha in yoga, where 'ha' represents the active solar energy and 'tha' represents the receptive lunar energy, this session offers a practical pathway to balancing solar and lunar energies within your own system. Through a series of expansive poses and intentional breathing, you will explore hatha yoga for balance, creating space to receive each breath fully and release accumulated physical tension.
