What is Hatha Yoga?
Yoga means UnionYoga is a an ancient path to self-realisation that originate's in the land of today's India .The word yoga comes from Sanskrit "Yuj' meaning to yoke or to unite. We can translate the meaning of Yoga as "Union" - union between the lower self and the higher self, union between the body and the mind, union between the individual self and universal self.
Hatha Yoga as we know it today comes from Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, a 15th century manual on Hatha Yoga.Hatha Yoga traditionally served monks and spiritual practitioners as a way to keep their body healthy so that they could sustain prolonged hours of meditation without feeling discomfort. Traditional Hatha yoga poses focus on keeping all the systems of the body healthy and balanced. It strengthens the joints, the spine, muscles, nourishes the nervous system, endocrine system, massages the internal organs and helps to improve stability and flexibility as well as focus and concentration.
The ultimate goal of Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is a science of purification of Nadis (energy channels) and awakening pranic energy called Kundalini. The ultimate goal of Hatha Yoga is balance of "Ha" (Pingala) and "Tha" (Ida) to awaken Kundalini in Sushumna channel. "Ha" refers to the more activating energy and "Tha" refers to the more calming energy.
When in balance, we experience a state of harmony from within.
