Description

Hatha Yoga is not a religion. It is not a physical fitness system. It is not a stress-management technique. It is not a cult. It requires no strange beliefs. It demands no blind faith. There is no need for penance, confession, humiliation, or self-denial. It is not a way of life with a special set of values and conventions. You do not need to give up onions or meat, burn incense, or wear prayer beads. Hatha Yoga is a science and an art combined. There is rigor and objectivity in its method. There is beauty and inspiration in its expression.
