What About Hatha Flow?
Just to confuse things more, some studios (like us) throw something called hatha flow into the mix. hold on, didn’t we just say that hatha yoga had little or no flow?
Hatha Flow classes will give you all the benefits of a standard Hatha yoga class, while at the same time giving you a sense of fluidity as the teacher strings certain poses one after the other in order keep your body active and engaged while focusing the mind on the task at hand
Is Hatha Yoga for You?
Hatha Yoga in Chiang Mai is popular and there are many experienced teacher here to learn from. Try a hatha class if the idea of a gentle/moderately challenging yoga appeals to you or seems right for your level of physical fitness. It can be a great introduction to yoga, but definitely shouldn’t be mistaken for easy yoga since it can still be quite challenging both physically and mentally. If you go into a hatha class and it feels too slow or not active enough, don’t give up on yoga completely, remember that every teacher has a different style of teaching and its only a matter of time before you find that teacher that resonates with you.
There are many faster-paced, more athletic ways to do yoga if thats what you prefer Try a vinyasa or ashtanga class and see if that is more your speed.
