Dear Kummara

Hatha Yoga has ancient roots in the yogic traditions of India. The term "Hatha" is derived from the Sanskrit words "ha" (sun) and "tha" (moon), symbolizing the union of opposing forces. The practice of Hatha Yoga focuses on balancing these dualities, aiming to create harmony within the body and mind.

Thank You!

My teaching experience 12 years

Hatha Yoga originated in ancient India around the 15th century. It is attributed to Swami Swatmarama, who documented the practice in the "Hatha Yoga Pradipika," a classic text that outlines various physical postures, breath control, and meditation techniques.
