Before we proceed, let me tell you about the history of Hatha and Ashtanga yoga and their origins. Hatha Yoga is one of the earliest form of yoga which first appeared in 1^st century CE in Sanskrit Epics (Hinduism) & Pali Canon (Buddhism). Its teachings started in 11^th century CE. It was completely described in detail in ‘Hatha Yoga Pradapika’ in 15^th century CE. It includes mantra chanting, asanas or poses, breathing or Pranayama, and meditation.

Another style that is taught in the 100 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is Ashtanga Yoga. It is one of the other ancient styles of yoga which was first recorded by Vamana Rishi in ‘Yoga Karunta’, an ancient manuscript. Ashtanga Yoga literally means “8-limbed yoga” as outlined by sage Patanjali in ‘Yoga Sutras’. Those 8 limbs are:- Yama (moral codes), Niyama (self-purification), Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense control), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (absorption into the Universe).
