HATHA YOGA AT OHM YOGA
Hatha Yoga is often described as the classical style of yoga, where you work with one posture at a time in a calm and controlled rhythm. The poses are typically held a little longer, allowing you to adjust your alignment, build strength and improve flexibility in a mindful and balanced way.
In a Hatha Yoga class at Ohmyoga in Copenhagen, you have the time and space to deepen your practice, focus on your breath and develop a better understanding of your body, movement patterns and alignment. The slower pace makes Hatha Yoga suitable for both beginners and more experienced yogis who want a balanced practice with emphasis on technique, body awareness and inner calm.
Hatha Yoga at Ohmyoga takes place in our regular yoga studio on Vesterbro in Copenhagen, without added heat. This creates a comfortable environment where you can fully focus on the postures, your breathing and the connection between body and mind.

WHAT IS HATHA YOGA?
Hatha Yoga is a classical style of yoga that focuses on integrating breathing techniques and physical postures to create balance between body and mind. Originally developed in India, Hatha Yoga is a versatile practice suitable for practitioners of all levels.
The practice includes a variety of yoga poses, known as asanas, which help stretch and strengthen the body while improving flexibility and mobility. Hatha Yoga is often considered a holistic practice, working not only on the physical body but also supporting mental clarity and emotional balance.
Hatha Yoga is based on the philosophy of creating harmony between body and mind through mindful movement, breath awareness and meditation. Compared with more dynamic yoga styles, Hatha Yoga is typically practiced at a slower and more meditative pace, allowing practitioners to focus on technique, alignment and body awareness.
Regular Hatha Yoga practice can help build strength, improve flexibility and promote relaxation through the combination of controlled breathing and carefully guided yoga postures.
One of the great advantages of Hatha Yoga is that it can be practiced by people of all ages and physical conditions. It is not only a workout for the body but also a practice for the mind. By focusing on breath and movement, practitioners often experience a deeper connection with themselves, along with increased calm, focus and mental clarity.
At Ohmyoga in Copenhagen, we aim to create a supportive environment where Hatha Yoga can be adapted to individual needs and abilities, allowing each student to develop their practice at their own pace.
