What is Hatha Yoga?
The Word “Yoga means union between Jivatma and Paramatma (Individual Soul and Supreme Soul). The science that teaches the way of acquiring this occult knowledge is called Yoga Sastra. Hatha Yoga concerns with the physical body and control of breath. Raja Yoga deals with the mind. Raja yoga and Hatha yoga are necessary counterparts of each other. No one can become a perfect Yogi without a knowledge of the practices of both. Raja Yoga begins where properly practiced Hatha Yoga ends.
Hatha is considered to be a compound word formed of two syllables ‘Ha’ and ‘tha’; ‘Ha’ means the moon (Ida Nadi) and ‘tha’ means the sun (Pingala). These correspond to the breaths, which flow through the left and right nostrils. Hatha Yoga teaches the way to unite the sun and the moon, the Prana and Apana through the regulation of breath.
Hatha Yoga is conducive to health and longevity. Its practice regulates the action of heart, lungs and brain. It promotes digestion and circulation of blood. Kidneys, liver and all other internal viscera work efficiently. It removes all sorts of diseases.
