Hatha yoga is a system of health that includes three distinct yet coexisting practices. Asanas (postures) are meant to bring comfort to the body and restore it to its innate healing capabilities. Pranayam (breath/energy manipulation), to tone the nervous system and open stuck nadis (energy channels). Dhyana (meditation), to bring clarity and a sense of peace to the mind.
