Yoga is a holistic practice that combines physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation, and philosophical teachings to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on physical postures and breathing techniques to align and calm the body, mind, and spirit.
