What is Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga yoga means the eight limbs of yoga. It was first referenced around ( 500 – 300 ) BC by the great sage Patanjali. He categorized yoga into eight branches, and it is the reason it’s known as eight-limbed yoga or Ashtanga Yoga. It is an art of conscious living combined with a spiritual practice that leads one to self-knowledge, freedom, and better physical health. For more details on Ashtanga Yoga, Click here
What is Hatha Yoga?
Hatha yoga is the ‘Discipline of Force.’ It uses physical force to channel the vital energy of the body. The Sanskrit word Hath means force, and physical techniques are used to preserve and move this energy. This technique is thus known as Hatha Yoga. One more definition of Hatha yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word, ‘Ha’, means Sun and ‘Tha’ means moon. Thus it is a yoga of alignment of the two energies.
