Hatha Yoga
Back to all Methods
The Sanskrit word “Hatha” literally translates to “Force” and suggests a method by which we unite our body by force, or strength.
Hatha yoga text is often accredited to Gorkhnath, the famed founder of kanphata yogi, however, Hatha yoga is generally regarded as being much older, dating back to the 200 BCE. Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that integrates asanas (yoga poses) and pranayama (breathing techniques).
This form of exercise emphasizes body control, and prepares the body for a deeper, more spiritually involved exercises. As we train our body and mind, we will strive to attain spiritual serenity while ignoring any external distractions. Hatha Yoga incorporates a multitude of traditional disciplines including Ashtanga and Vinyasa and is the fundamental discipline that incorporates Asanas and pranayamas. Hatha yoga conditions our bodies to the physically demanding stresses needed for prolonged sessions of meditation. Hatha yoga brings about a sense of unity and harmony between body and spirit, promoting an ideal state for meditation. Therefore, Hatha yoga employs poses (asanas) that increase the efficiency of the meditation by lengthening and straightening our spine allowing energy to flow upward from our spine.
