  1. WHAT IS HATHA YOGA?

  2. Purpose Of Hatha Yoga Hatha Yoga, as set out in the Yoga Pradipika by Yogi Swatmarama (written in 1350), is a system of purification and control of the body that involves restructuring of the pranic flows with the aim of attaining Raj Yoga, Samadhi. Asana is the first stage of hatha yoga. Yoga Wellness Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.

  3. Components of Hatha Yoga Four Components The four components of Hatha Yoga are Shatkarmas (purification techniques), Asana, Mudras (psychic gestures) and Pranayama (breathwork). The original intention behind these practices was to prepare the body for the awakening of Kundalini (our infinite potential).

  4. How to take your practice to the next level? There comes a stage in your practice when you are no longer practicing the asana. You are the asana. That is the goal. As long as you are practicing it, there is a separation between you and the asana, between you and the goal. The invitation is to merge with the asana, to become it. This is what Patanjali is speaking of in the Yoga Sutras, when he states that the asana should be absolutely comfortable, peace-inducing, enabling stillness.

  5. Where to start? You start by showing up for yourself and showing up consistently. Everybody progresses at different rates, so let go of any comparison between yourself and others. Remember, yoga is not about poses. It is about self-realization. It involves uniting body, mind and spirit and achieving a greater state of harmony within ourselves, with the environment, and with those around us. Stay inspired!
