Hat·ha Vidyã The word “Hatha Vidya” means the wisdom of Yoga. The term ‘Hatha’ in Sanskrit is composed of two syllables ‘ha’ and ‘tha’, ‘ha’ represents the sun or vital energy and ‘tha’ means the moon, representing the mental energy. By practicing Hatha Vidya, these two energy flows are synchronized leading to a balanced state of mind. Hatha Vidya is the purest and the most traditional form of Yoga. It is the first step to improve one’s psycho physiological state (mind and body) and complete well being. Hatha Vidya empowers one to control the mind through body. Beginning with easy asanas (postures) the body is made to undergo a thorough cleansing process based on the Shad Karma Kriyas (a six-fold cleansing process) to equip the body for a full-fledged practice of Kumbhaka Padhathi (Pranayama).
