HATHA YOGA: BALANCE OF MIND

Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that emphasizes physical exercises or body postures to enhance your physical fitness and mental endurance level. In the Yoga philosophy, it is believed that you need to be physically prepared to follow the difficult yogic path, that involves strict discipline and mental chastity. The word Hatha literally means “force” in Sanskrit. The term “Hatha yoga” connotes a system of supplementary physical techniques within the broader concept of Yoga and comes under the ‘Asanas’ part of the eight-fold path of Ashtanga Yoga.

The Hatha yoga practice emphasizes proper diet, processes to internally purify the body, proper breathing and its regulation particularly during the yoga practice, and the exercise routine consisting of asanas (bodily postures). The aims of Hatha yoga have traditionally been the same as those of other forms of yoga like Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Sahaj Yoga etc. They include physical siddhis (special powers or bodily benefits such as slowing age effects) and spiritual liberation (moksha, Mukti).


ASHTANGA VINYASA

Ashtanga yoga literally means “eight-limbed yoga,” as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. According to Patanjali, the path of internal purification for revealing the Universal Self consists of the following eight spiritual practices:

  • Yama– Practice of precepts (Self – restraints)
  • Niyama– Practice of virtues (Self – observation)
  • Asana– Postures (disassociation of consciousness from the outside environment)
  • Pranayama– Breath Control
  • Pratyahara– withdrawal of senses
  • Dharana– Concentration
  • Dhyana– Contemplation (Meditation)
  • Samadhi– Trance (Identification with pure consciousness)

The purpose of Ashtanga vinyasa is internal cleansing. As a part of Ashtanga Yoga, the synchronized breathing and movement in the asanas cause heating of the blood, cleaning and thinning it so that it may circulate more freely in the body. Improved blood circulation relieves joint pain and removes toxins and disease from the internal organs. The sweat generated from the heat of Vinyasa then carries the impurities out of the body. Through the use of vinyasa, the body becomes healthy, light and strong.
