Hatha Yoga Vidya

Haṭha Yoga refers to the yogic tradition emphasizing bodily discipline, breath control, postures, seals, energy channels, and meditative absorption. Classical Haṭha texts teach purification, prāṇāyāma, mudrā, bandha, kuṇḍalinī awakening, and mastery of mind through control of prāṇa. It serves as a practical path preparing the practitioner for rāja yoga, inner steadiness, spiritual realization, and liberation through disciplined transformation of body and mind.
