Hey, you totally remind me of my beginning days when I was beating the bushes to find the answer to this exact question. According to me, Hatha yoga is great for beginners. It is easy to practice and improves strength, flexibility, and balance. It also reduces stress and provides many therapeutic benefits as well. And yes, yoga has been corrupted to the core and commercialization of yoga should be blamed for it. But there are lots of yoga schools in India that are genuinely helping aspiring yoga students learn yoga best practices. Talk about myself, when I practiced hatha yoga for the first time, I did it at home with the help of online videos I found on YouTube. But after a couple of weeks, I realized that I was unable to perform some alignments due to the lack of proper guidance or mentorship. Then, the idea of professional hatha yoga training struck me and I started researching Hatha yoga training courses in Rishikesh, India (I choose the place 'cause it's a hub of yoga teacher training for foreigners) and ended up joining 200 hr TTC based on Hatha yoga principles at Ekattva Yogshala in Rishikesh to get expertise in Hatha yoga. I learned so many alignments there which are the key poses of Hatha yoga. You won't be able to learn these at home. It's been a year now and I can perform each and every yoga pose with an absolute ease. If you want to get expertise in your practice then a perfect Hatha yoga teacher training course is all you need. What do you think?
