Hatha yoga According to Shruti Smriti the united form of Ida (Moon) and Pingla (Sun) nerves is Hatha yoga. There are 72,72, 10, 210 nerves in the human body but out of these Ida, Pingla and Sushmana are considered to be very useful. Sushmana nerve is the actual path of liberation. It is posited in the center of the body (slightly above the groin and lower than navel). It passes through all the chakras and reaches the Vishudh or throat chakra and is divided into two paths. The western path passes from backside of the neck through spine and reaches the suture on the top of the head. The second path is the eastern path that passes through the Agya chakra and reaches the suture on top of the head. Sushmana can select any one path out of these two but western path is supposed to be suitable. Pranayam helps in the flow of Sushmana through union of Ida and Pingla. This energy flows in upward direction from root chakra to the suture on top of the head. This is known as Hatha yog. Nadi shodhan, practice of various mudras, arousal of kundalini, and other chakras is Hatha yoga. posted by Yoga GURU on 8 April 2010 8:51

Hatha yoga techniques are explained in the ancient text of 15th century; where there is very strict yoga is followed to achieve the desired results. There are many concepts regarding this hatha yoga like comparing the good and bad or positive and negative and balancing it. This can be compared with the help of “nadi” that is “Ida” and “Pingala” they should be balanced well. Overall, it is understood that, to maintain the control over mind and body, there are certain yoga poses and kriyas are mentioned, which should be practiced very strictly. It is believed that hatha yoga contains few hardship cleansing programmes which help to clean the body and mind, they are shatkriyas or 6 procedures. They are Dhouti (vomiting technique), Basti (enema), Neti (Nostril cleaning), Nauli (rectus abdominus muscle procedure), Trataka (concentrating), and, Kapal bhati (Breathing procedure). These are the techniques and a part of yoga which helps to clean the body. Swasthikasana, Gomukhasana, Virasana, Kurmasana, Kukkutasana, Kurmasana, dhanurasana etc are explained in Hatha yoga which are done while doing these 6 procedures. However, these types of yoga techniques should be practiced under guidance. Hatha yoga should be practiced by healthy persons only, as few asanas cannot be practiced by patients like cardiac, spondylitis patients etc. With regards, Dr.Vijay. posted by ayurvijay on 9 April 2010 6:49

Power yoga Power yoga is a modification of Hatha yoga which is practiced in western countries according to their lifestyle. Power yoga is done as a series of yogasanas in combination and practiced continuously. Hence Hatha yoga and power yoga are different. With regards, Dr.Vijay posted by ayurvijay on 6 April 2010 6:53
