The word "ha" refers to the solar nadi (pingala) in the subtle body and "tha" the lunar channel (ida).

This class will be quite powerful although it will be taught for the standard of students there on the day ,expect to sweat and in the longer term this class will help you create balance and greater power in an individual.
