Hatha yoga? What is it and will it Work For You?
I often wondered will this yoga work for me and what the heck is Hatha Yoga?
Well if you have read the previous two posts you should be starting to get the idea, so have a read and tell me what you think.
Over the last century the term yoga has come to be especially associated with the postures (Sanskrit asanas) of hatha yoga (”Forced Yoga”).
Hatha yoga has gained wide popularity outside of India and traditional yoga-practicing religions, and the postures are sometimes presented as entirely secular or non-spiritual in nature.
Traditional Hatha Yoga is a complete yogic path, including moral disciplines, physical exercises (e.g., postures and breath control), and meditation, and encompasses far more than the yoga of postures and exercises practiced in the West as physical culture. The seminal work on Hatha Yoga is the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, written by Swami Svatmarama.
