Θα ήθελα να κάνω μια διευκρίνιση σχετικά με μια συχνή παρανόηση.
Hatha yoga δεν είναι ένα συγκεκριμένο είδος γιόγκα αλλά το κομμάτι
της γιόγκικης πρακτικής που ασχολείται με την κίνηση. Δείτε παρακάτω
τον ακριβή ορισμό.

Yoga is more than simple exercise. It may include postures (asanas),
energy and breath control (pranayama), meditation, music, philosophy and
other approaches. While many people equate the word Hatha with a
particular style of yoga, the word actually refers to the physical
aspect of yoga – to the asana and pranayama practices.
Classes described as Hatha yoga usually include asanas as well as other
teachings. There is a tremendous variety of ways Hatha yoga can be
practiced and taught. Common names you may encounter
include Ananda, Ashtanga, Bikram, Iyengar, Integral, Kripalu, Kundalini,
Power, Sivananda and Vinyasa. Each style has unique characteristics.
Meditation is important to all styles and traditions of yoga but is
often the least understood aspect of yoga. The art and science of
transcending one’s thoughts and liberating the mind, meditation may
involve simple breath awareness, chanting or movement. For some, it is
the heart of the practice, for others it is integrated with the asanas,
often at the beginning and the end of the class.
