What is Yogasana?
Yogasana are not exercises, but very subtle processes to manipulate one's energy in a particular direction. "Yogasanas are a way of aligning the inner system and adjusting it to the celestial geometry, thereby becoming in sync with the existence and naturally achieving a chemistry of healthfulness, joyfulness, blissfulness, and above all, balance," says Sadhguru's website Isha Foundation.
Out of innumerable asana a body can assume, 84 have been identified as Yogasanas. One Yogasana that has the power to channel energy into your body is Hatha Yoga. Sadhguru believes Hatha Yoga has the power to alter the way think, feel and experience life.
Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation suggests that Hatha Yoga is a preparatory process of Yoga. The word “ha” means sun, “ta” means moon. “Hatha” means the Yoga to bring balance between the sun and the moon in you.
“You can explore Hatha Yoga in ways that take you beyond certain limitations, but fundamentally, it is a physical preparation – preparing the body for a higher possibility,” it reads.
