WHAT IS 
HATHA YOGA
By Jai Ashok Mahtani, Kenya
Jai Ashok Mahtani said “ Most types 
of yoga in the West can be named 
Hatha Yoga. Hatha basically alludes 
to the act of actual yoga stances, 
which means your Ashtanga, 
vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga 
classes are all Hatha Yoga. "Hatha" 
can be interpreted two different 
ways: as "resolute" or "strong," or 
the yoga of movement, and as 
"sun" (ha) and "moon" (tha), the 
yoga of equilibrium. Hatha 
rehearses are intended to adjust 
and quiet your body, psyche, and 
soul in anticipation of 
contemplation.”
Examination shows hatha yoga assists with 
calming pressure, improves emotional 
health, ease back and arthritis pain, and 
even assists individuals to quit smoking. 
Traditional Hatha yoga was created in the 
fifteenth century and included direction for 
the best possible setting of yoga, asanas, 
pranayama or breathing activities, mudras 
or hand motions, and reflection for 
individual profound development. Hatha 
yoga is the part of yoga that ordinarily rings 
a bell when you consider yoga by and large 
terms. The training includes breath, body, 
and brain, and classes are generally 45 
minutes to an hour and a half of breathing, 
yoga postures, and reflection.

YOGA

Anusara underscores "Widespread Principles of 
Alignment" as the point of convergence of its 
training, which underlie the entirety of the actual 
asanas. At the point when you practice with a goal 
and keen attention to the body and brain, the 
preparation is set down to basically move and 
improve. A customary Anusara yoga practice makes 
the body more grounded and more adaptable, 
mends wounds quicker and levels out irregular 
characteristics that normally exist in the body. The 
ANUSARA heart and brain are welcome to join along this advancement and become stronger and gentler, 
YOGA tranquil and upbeat, cheerful and adjusted.
This yoga acknowledges the estimation of infinite 
presence and holds it to be a reality; its article is to 
go into a higher Truth-Consciousness or Divine 
Supramental Consciousness in which activity and 
creation are the articulation not of obliviousness and 
blemish, but rather of the Truth, the Light, the Divine
