I am naturopathy doctor and yoga trainer with 5 year experience.

Hatha yoga has seven limbs, while Ashtanga yoga has eight limbs. Hatha yoga starts with physical postures and eventually leads to meditation while Ashtanga yoga focuses on self, and then moves to the practice of physical postures

Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga are two distinct styles of yoga with differences in their approach, principles, and practice.
