Most people new to yoga think of it purely from a physical
perspective, and when they do, they are invariably thinking
of hatha yoga. Devrived from two sanskrit words "ha"
(sun, or the breath of the sun) and tha (moon, or the breath
of the moon), hatha yoga is the most popular form of yoga and
the "base" for a number of other different forms.
Hatha yoga views the body as a vehicle for the soul and seeks
to optimize it through physical poses (asanas), breathing (pranayama),
and meditation.
