Hatha yoga approaches the body through asanas – physical practice. Ha - sun and tha - moon means willful and forceful, and refers to creating a yoga practice of balance.
Raja yoga is about aligning the inner and outer values. Inspired by Patanjali it is based on yamas – self-control, niyamas – discipline, and asanas.
My yoga practice combines Hatha with Raja yoga in order to align the body with the mind.
