Subject: Meaning of Hatha Yoga


With ha meaning "sun" and tha meaning "moon," hatha yoga is commonly translated as the yoga that brings union "of the pairs of opposites." Sometimes Hatha Yoga is also translated as the "forcefull yoga", because it seems to require the most physical excercises of all yoga types. Hatha Yoga is certainly the yoga that is the best known in the West, which is probably why so many definitions of Hatha Yoga exist.

"Ha" also means "exhale" and "tha," "inhale."

'ha' is also like laughing.
'tha' is a slangy variation of the word 'the'

I love the George Bernard Shaw quote -- very much what I believe at age 66. I am starting a new phase of my already active, physical life by adding yoga. I want to advocate and encourage other 'seniors' to stay active. Thanks for the encouragement!

In this global culture, we’re beings on the move. Magical vessels propel us through time zones and effortlessly lift us across borders, divides, languages, temperatures, smells and meridians. These same vessels then plop us down in faraway lands and we step out, expecting ourselves to acclimatize in a matter of moments to transformations it took the great ancestors ages to assimilate.
In the last years i`ve been working on this book, to get people starting on this beautiful path of yoga and meditation.
Since this is my first project, I would apreciate if people seeing this would give it a try, read it and share the experience with me. I am dedicated to expanding the identity, understanding and experience of yoga by crafting a yoga that is unique.
In order to access my ebook please go ahead and shoot an email at liviapoin13oct12@gmail.com, and in the shortest time possible i will reply. Thank you!
