The core of all modern yoga forms: Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga was introduced more than 5000 years ago in the ancient yogic texts called Vedas. The word Hatha comes from Ha which means Sun and Tha which means Moon. Hatha yoga connects energizing movements (sun) with relaxing postures (moon) to receive the most harmonizing and balancing effects. When the energies are balanced one experiences good health and happy life. According to Hatha Yoga, our body is a highly sensitive energy system. Too little movement (tamas) can lead to a dull mind and heavy body. Excess energy (rajas) results in a restless body and angry mind. The state of perfect energetic well-being is called sattva: this is the goal of hatha yoga. Health and vitality are experienced. The mind is alert and light. Hatha Yoga is often much slower than Ashtanga Yoga which doesn’t mean that it isn’t as effective. It is challenging, soft and stimulating. Great attention is paid to connecting the breath with the
movements.

Real Hatha Yoga can only be learned in a traditional Yoga Teacher Training in India. Complete surrender and the willpower to self-grow are the foundational stones for an individual yogic journey. There are different programs to choose from the first level is called 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. A 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a highly intensive 4-week yoga course that will cover all main areas of hatha yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, cleansing techniques, and yogic philosophy. You will, for example, learn about the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Sanskrit manual about Hatha yoga, written by Swami Svatmarama.

Yoga Teacher Training in India opens the doors to a peaceful and healthy life. Nowadays, all is going very fast. In Western societies, we have an excess of everything. If we don’t like something, it is thrown away and replaced. This applied to items, food, and relationships.

A 200 Hour of Yoga Teacher Training in India can help you to value what you have already. You will understand that the mind can never be satisfied. By understanding the mind and its tricks, you can overcome suffering, pain, and emotional
attachment. During your Yoga Teacher Training India, will not only learn hatha yoga but also discover
yourself new in different ways and situations. India is a magical country. It is said to be a holy country and the birthplace of yoga, spirituality and mental stability.

Once you complete your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, you get to teach yoga internationally and share your passion with others as well.
