1.2- What is Hatha yoga ?
The word “Hatha” comes from the root words 'Hakaram' meaning “sun” and 'Thakaram' meaning “moon”
Yoga means to join or unite , so Hathayoga is the union of sun and moon.
in another words, it is the science of harmonizing the positive and negative forces within the body,or balancing activate the passive energies .
when Ida nadi ( Thakara ) and Pingla nadi (Hakara) have a balance then Kundalini Shakti awakes and kundalini travels from mooladhara chakra to Sahasrara via Sunumana Nadi , when Kundlini travels that time it activates all chakras.
Hakaram is a reference to the right Nadi which is of male energy
( Pingala ,shiva,male,sun,surya, )
which corresponds with solar energy .
Thakaram is a reference to the left Nadi which is female energy
( Ida,Shakti,Female,Moon,Chandra) which corresponds with lunar energy.
Sushumna nadi is the spiritual channel located at the center of the spinal cord. It originates from mooladhara chakra at the perineum and terminates at sahasrara, at the crown of the head. Ida nadi emanates from the left side of mooladhara and spirals up the spinal cord, passing through each chakra in turn, forming a criss-cross pathway which terminates at the left side of ajna chakra. Pingala nadi emanates from the right side of mooladhara and passes in an opposite manner to that of ida, terminating at the right side of ajna. Ida and pingala represent the two opposites forces flowing within us.
