“Hatha Yog is the science of using the body to prepare oneself for the ultimate possibility.” – Sadhguru

What is Hatha Yog?

• “Hatha Yog is the phenomenon of aligning the human system with the cosmic – a way to hold one’s system in a way that it will become a receptacle to receive and hold the entire cosmos.” – Sadhguru.
• Hatha Yog stems from a deep understanding of the mechanics of the body, and uses yogic postures, or Yogsanas, to enable the system to sustain higher dimensions of energy. By practicing this profound science, one can change and enhance the way they think, feel, and experience life. Hatha Yog is about creating a body that is not a hurdle in your life. The body becomes a stepping stone in the progress towards blossoming into your ultimate possibility.
• We want to take the physical form beyond its present level of limitations. In a way, Hatha Yog means you want to make your comfort zone universal, instead of the small band that it is right now. Wherever and however you may be, you are at ease. You can naturally achieve a chemistry of health, joy, blissfulness and above all, balance. It is a very powerful way of living. Power, not over somebody else; it’s all about power to access life.

Yogasanas

The word asana literally means a posture. Out of the innumerable asanas a body can assume, 84 have been identified as Yogsanas, through which one can transform the body and mind into a possibility for ultimate well-being. Yogsanas are not exercises, but rather very subtle processes to manipulate one’s energy in a particular direction.

In an untrained state, the human body is a constant manifestation of various levels of compulsiveness. By consciously forming the body into a certain posture, one creates a conductive passage for energy flow that can elevate one’s consciousness. Yogsanas are a way of aligning the inner system and adjusting it to the celestial geometry, thereby becoming in sync with the existence and naturally achieving a chemistry of healthfulness, joyfulness, blissfulness, and above all, balance.

Isha teaches a select set of 21 Yogsanas, which provide countless benefits including:

• Relief of chronic health conditions
• Evolution of body and mind towards a higher possibility
• Stabilization of the body, mind, and energy system
• Deceleration of the aging process
