Difference Between Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga

• Hatha Yoga: Focuses on the physical body, breath control, and purification practices to prepare for meditation. The first Guru of Hatha Yoga is Adinath (Lord Shiva).
• Ashtanga Yoga: Also known as Patanjali Yoga, it follows the eightfold path (Ashta-Anga), including Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi, leading to spiritual liberation.

While Hatha Yoga emphasizes physical and energetic practices, Ashtanga Yoga (Patanjali Yoga) is a systematic path of self-discipline and inner transformation.
