Hatha Yoga is not the ultimate goal. Hatha Yoga makes us aware that the body with its inestimable qualities is everything that we have in life; for we enter this world naked and leave this world naked. This is one of the reasons we have to good take care of our body. The more we try to achieve perfection when it come to the body, the quicker our mental capacity and control develop: power of concentration, memory, will-power and resolution. The blessing of Hatha Yoga is threefold; health, well-being and long life.
The physical positions of yoga are way to the goal, which is meditation. According to Patanjali, Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the mind.
When you first start with yoga, the posture is obligatory to achieve peace of mind. The various yoga poses are exercised regularly to achieve better health and flexibility to the body. All yoga positions aids to even directly or indirectly calm the mind down. The majority of Asana have been devised to build up different parts of the body and to develop the strength required by the more advanced physical disciplines. The purpose of the yoga postures is to recondition the system, both mind and body, and to improve other systems like nervous and glandular system.
Hatha Yoga uses a method to gain the best result with minimum effort or energy. The various yoga postures have been devised to bring a rich supply of blood to the brain and to the various parts of the spinal column. The yoga asana work by stretching, bending and twisting the spinal column in different directions to promote the health of the nerves.
Regularity in yoga asana practice is an absolute necessity if one wishes to realise the full potential of the Yoga process. If you are building a home and the foundations are not built properly, the house will most likely fall down or collapse. So too, if a student of Yoga has not gained a certain degree of mastery over the yoga poses he/she can not successfully proceed to the advanced disciplines.
