Description:A simple Description about hatha yoga

Hatha Yoga, is also known as hatha vidya. It is one of the two types of yoga that focuses on the physical culture. The word Hatha is derived from combining two Sanskrit words "ha" which means sun and "tha" meaning moon. The word "ha" refers to the solar nadi (channels through which, in traditional Indian medicine and spiritual science, the energies of the subtle body are said to flow) and "tha" the lunar channel (ida). However, when the two words are combined it becomes "hatha" which means "forceful". This implies that powerful work should be done to purify the body. Hatha yoga asanas is originated to combine the sun (masculine, active) energy with the moon (feminine, receptive) energy, which will result in balanced and greater power in an individual. Hatha Yoga postures are both meditative as well as cultural.
