AI explanation

Hatha Yoga is widely recognized as the most common and foundational type of yoga practiced today, especially in Western contexts, as it focuses on physical postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama) that form the basis for most modern yoga classes. Raja Yoga focuses more on meditation and mental discipline, Jnana Yoga is the path of knowledge/wisdom, and Karma Yoga is the path of selfless action/service — all are legitimate yogic paths but are less commonly practiced as standalone gym/studio classes compared to the widespread, accessible Hatha style.
