Nowadays, there is a wide variety of Yoga being offered. At the Lanka Princess we practice Hatha Yoga. The word Hatha derives from Sanskrit and means „power, endurance, suppression“. This is to emphasize the effort , which is necessary to reach the actual target. Further, the term expresses the unity of opposed energies (hot and cold, male and female, positive and negative, sun = Tha and moon = Ha). Hatha Yoga was already mentioned back in the 15^th century; the balance between body and mind shall be striven for, mainly through physical exercise (Asanas), breathing practice (Pranayama) and meditation.
