If you're new to a more traditional aspects of yoga, you are in a right place. This is the very first article I write on this website and it's about a basic understanding of what is Traditional Hatha Yoga. There will be more, so stay tuned!
Traditional Hatha Yoga is a powerful and transformative practice that combines physical postures, breathing technique, and meditation to awaken the dormant energy within us. It is a spiritual science that leads to self-discovery and transformation. A path that goes beyond the physical realm and delves into the depths of our being. Through my personal experience with traditional hatha yoga, I have come to realize its immense power to heal, rejuvenate, and connect us to our true essence.
The practice of traditional hatha yoga is rooted in ancient traditions and is based on the belief that the body is a sacred vessel through which we can experience the divine. It is not merely a physical exercise but a holistic approach to life that encompasses the body, mind, and spirit. Through a dedicated practice, we can tap into the vast reservoir of energy that lies dormant within us, known as Kundalini.
One of the key aspects of traditional hatha yoga is the focus on the energy management. There are thousands of energy centers in our body that are the gateways to higher consciousness and self-realization. By managing and liberating these energy through specific asanas, pranayama and kriya meditation, we can awaken our dormant potential and experience a profound sense of well-being and inner peace. We can also start to explore and release any physical, mental, or emotional patterns that no longer serve us. This process of self-inquiry and self-reflection allows for personal growth and transformation, leading to a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. Traditional Hatha Yoga also teaches us to embrace all aspects of ourselves, including our shadows and our light, leading to a deeper sense of wholeness and integration.
In my own journey with traditional hatha yoga, I have witnessed the transformative power of this practice. Through a complete practice that I do daily, I have experienced increased physical strength and steadiness, improved mental clarity and focus, and a deep sense of inner calm and contentment. The practice has helped me release deep-seated emotional blockages and connect to my true self on a deeper level.
In the end, everybody wants to live more vibrant and fulfilling lives. Traditional Hatha Yoga has the tools to achieve that. You can start this practice by understanding the fundamental, learn from an eligible source, ask the teacher where is their knowledge coming from. This science has been here for thousands of years, all we need to do is learn and practice.
Hari om.
