Hatha yoga is not a single style of Yoga

Θα ήθελα να κάνω μια διευκρίνιση σχετικά με μια συχνή παρανόηση.
Hatha yoga δεν είναι ένα συγκεκριμένο είδος γιόγκα αλλά το κομμάτι 
της γιόγκικης πρακτικής που ασχολείται με την κίνηση. Δείτε παρακάτω
τον ακριβή ορισμό.

Yoga is more than simple exercise. It may include postures (asanas), energy and breath control (pranayama), meditation, music, philosophy and other approaches. While many people equate the word Hatha with a particular style of yoga, the word actually refers to the physical aspect of yoga – to the asana and pranayama practices.

Classes described as Hatha yoga usually include asanas as well as other teachings. There is a tremendous variety of ways Hatha yoga can be practiced and taught. Common names you may encounter include Ananda, Ashtanga, Bikram, Iyengar, Integral, Kripalu, Kundalini, Power, Sivananda and Vinyasa. Each style has unique characteristics.

Meditation is important to all styles and traditions of yoga but is often the least understood aspect of yoga. The art and science of transcending one’s thoughts and liberating the mind, meditation may involve simple breath awareness, chanting or movement. For some, it is the heart of the practice, for others it is integrated with the asanas, often at the beginning and the end of the class.
