Hatha yoga is involves stretching, breathing and meditating.
"Ha" means sun in Sanskrit; "tha" means moon. Hatha yoga represents opposing energies: yin and yang, hot and cold, male and female, positive and negative.
Hatha yoga balances the mind and body via physical postures (asanas), purification practices, controlled breathing, relaxation, and meditation.
Asanas are practiced to improve the body's physical health and clear the mind in preparation for meditation. Different asanas are recommended by practitioners to cure or prevent problems ranging from constipation to cancer. Hatha yoga is known to reduce stress and other mental worries.
The practitioner of yoga is called a yogi or yogini (female). Every yoga class ends with the salutation, "Namaste," which means, "the divine light within me bows to the divine light within you."
