Hatha Yoga ain’t No Raja Yoga.

A few days ago, my friend and student Heather Hax Phillips wrote: "What is the difference between Hatha and Raja Yoga?"

Hatha Yoga uses subtle body techniques (Suria and Chandra) we call the two important energy channels of the sun and the moon.

It is elegant and ready for use in the classics of the 4th century Yoga. Raja Yoga has rare and gorgeous quality

Prior to Gorakhnath, Hatha used various breathing methods, attitude methods, meditation methods, but the Hatha system compiled them in a new way.

On another novel aspect of Hatha, place your yoga posture at the center of Sadhana (practice method) and turn your exercise towards the awakening of Kundalini.

Among groundbreaking research, scholar Christopher Tompkins shared many new things about the time when our pose yoga first appeared.

Obviously, comments about c. 100 CE Pasupata Sutras describes a well-designed body-based approach

However, the Pasupata movement he saw is not called Hatha Yoga, its body system is interpreted and energetically targeted to another person

Patanjali's exercises contain many elements, but it is known for the "stagnation" approach of "stopping" thinking.

It is primarily a meditation sadana (practice pass) and gives us some information about the pose, but Patanjali does not name systemization nor set of poses.

In other names, his practice fly under the flags of classical yoga, Ashtanga Yoga and Raja Yoga.

In other words, Raja Yoga is also suitable for various other non-Patanjan meditation exercises.

On the other hand, "Hada Yoga" is a universal style exercise exercise that includes a generic gentle biasa (motion linked post). - And, please follow Hatha's first start spirit (usually in the range of every practice)

Raja Yoga is regarded as a "royal road" for achieving yoga or for fusion of soul and soul. Raja Yoga is highly esteemed because it is inspired by direct control and mind control. With this approach, Raja Yoga is a difficult exercise for challenging participation, but the Western Yoga Hatha Yoga is an easier way. The purpose of Hatha Yoga is to control the body and breathing, so that static (energy) stagnates the mind. Hatha Yoga was developed as preparation for Raja Yoga, but they can practice at the same time.

Raja Yoga is often referred to as "classical yoga" as it is the oldest yoga system that has developed systematically into a unified movement. The practice of Raja Yoga was written by a philosopher Patanjali in his famous Yoga poem in the 2nd century AD. Yoga poetry divides the practice of yoga meditation into eight limbs or sub exercises. The fore limbs are called limbs and are carried out at the same time. Some of these limbs have the same name as Hatha Yoga practice, but do not confuse them as they are not the same. The last limb is called the inner limb and it is executed in order

The so-called Raja Yoga refers to Ashtanga Yoga which is a limb for practicing Santa as explained by Pantagali Yoga. Raja Yoga originally referred to the final goal of yoga called Samadhi, but promoted by Vivekananda as a generic term for Ashtanga Yoga. With the influence of Vivekananda, Patanjali's classics of yoga is now considered the basis of classic yoga learned in the 20th century. Prior to the 20th century, other works such as Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Vasistha were regarded as the most important works. Tantric Yoga and Hatha Yoga, on the other hand, won advantage in Ashtanga Yoga.
