Overview

HATHA YOGA THE PATH OF PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL HARMONY A Complete Journey from Ancient Wisdom to Modern Practice Hatha Yoga is far more than physical exercise-it is a profound system of transformation that has guided seekers toward wholeness for centuries. This comprehensive book unveils the complete spectrum of Hatha Yoga, from its philosophical foundations to practical techniques that can revolutionise your daily life. Rooted in Ancient Tradition Journey back to the origins of Hatha Yoga, exploring the meaning behind ""Ha"" (sun) and ""Tha"" (moon)-the fundamental polarities whose union creates balance and awakening.

Understanding these roots enriches every aspect of your practice, connecting you to a lineage of wisdom spanning millennia. The Complete Practitioner's Guide This book offers detailed instruction across all dimensions of Hatha Yoga practice. Master the traditional Shatkarmas-six purification techniques that cleanse the body's systems and prepare you for deeper work. Explore comprehensive guidance on Asanas, learning not just how to perform postures but understanding the subtle alignments and energetic principles that make each pose transformative. Dive deep into Pranayama, the science of breath control, discovering how conscious breathing regulates life force energy and calms the restless mind. Learn powerful techniques from basic alternate nostril breathing to advanced practices that awaken dormant potential. Understand mudras and bandhas-the energetic seals and locks that direct prana with precision and purpose. From Physical to Spiritual The book bridges the gap between physical practice and spiritual awakening. Explore the subtle body's architecture-the network of nadis (energy channels), the seven chakras (energy centers), and how prana flows through these invisible pathways. Learn to perceive energy shifts within yourself and understand how physical postures create profound internal transformations. Meditation chapters guide you from concentration exercises to sustained meditative awareness, showing how Hatha practices prepare the nervous system for stillness.
