	Hatha yoga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hatha Yoga is derived from the Hinayana (narrow path) and Mahayana (great path) traditions of Buddhism, as well as the Sahajayana (spontaneous path) and Vajrayana (concerning matters of sexuality) traditions of Tantra.
		The Hatha Yoga of Swatmarama and his contemporaries differs from the Raja Yoga of Patanjali in that it focuses on shatkarma, the purification of the physical as leading to the purification of the mind (ha) and prana, or vital energy (tha).
		Hatha yoga in the west primarily concerns itself with asanas or postures.

		Hatha Yoga is essentially a manual for scientifically taking one's body through stages of control to a point at which one-pointed focus on the unmanifested brahman is possible: it is said to take its practitioner to the peaks of Raja Yoga.

	Styles of Hatha Yoga
		Hatha Yoga: Hatha yoga is just a "catch-all" term for the many physical styles of yoga.
		If a yoga instructor says he/she teaches "hatha" yoga, generally, that instructor has learned techniques from more than one style of yoga, and does not strictly adhere to one style of yoga.
		Hence, when an instructor borrows from several styles, they often refer to their class as Hatha Yoga, which can mean ANY blend of the many teachings and styles of yoga.

	About Hatha Yoga
		Developed over 4000 years ago, Hatha Yoga is a complete system of poses (asanas), breathing practices (pranayama) and deep relaxation, which was originally intended to prepare the body for long periods of meditation.
		One of the most encouraging things about a yoga practice is that no matter how far into a pose one can go, the full benefit of that pose is always reached.
		Because Hatha Yoga is not an extreme activity at the beginning level, results can be measured in such things as increased body awareness, increased flexibility and ability to deal with stress and tension.
