Hathenas, also known as Hathaats, are body-forcing procedures that are designed to induce a certain impact on the body.
Many of the asanas in Hatha Yoga are classical. Asanas, or postures, Kriyas, or movements, and Mudras, or neuromuscular tensors, are all used in Hatha Yoga to stimulate glandular activity.
The Sanskrit syllables "Ha" and "Tha" make form the phrase "Hatha."
- The "Ha" represents sun energies in the body, especially positive Pranic forces flowing via the right side of the nervous system.
- Whereas the "Tha" represents moon energy, specifically negative electromagnetic energy flowing down the left side.
Prefect balance happens when the "Ha forces" and the "Tha forces" are balanced as "Hatha" (pronunciation: "Hat-ha", not "Ha-tha").
Hatha Yoga is sometimes referred to as "Yoga Obstinacy" by certain publications.
In its effort to govern the body, the mind is "obstinate."
- The complete treatment should be performed once a day, first thing in the morning. If this isn't feasible, a session in the afternoon or evening may be replaced.
- For individuals who are in a rush to reclaim their health. A morning and evening session is advised, with a high noon time practice optional for true devotees.
