What is the difference between Ashtanga Yoga & Hatha Yoga? Which one is more beneficial?
Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic, fast-paced sequence, while Hatha Yoga is slower and focuses on alignment. Benefits depend on goals—Ashtanga builds strength and stamina; Hatha enhances flexibility, balance, and relaxation.
