"Hatha Yoga: Balancing Body and Mind through Postures, Breathing, and Meditation"

Hatha Yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation techniques. The term "hatha" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "ha," meaning sun, and "tha," meaning moon. It represents the balance between opposing forces—such as hot and cold, light and dark, or active and passive—which are harmonized through the practice of yoga.
