Course Description
The Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, also known as Light on Hatha Yoga, is widely agreed to be the most influential surviving text about yoga. Written as a technical manual, it includes detailed descriptions of asana, pranayama, mudras and bandhas, as well as the states of consciousness. This medieval Indian text is full of fascinating metaphors, esoteric ideas, and a whole lot of entertaining hyperbole. Join us for this fun and nerdy book club to uncover how the original intentions and techniques of hatha yoga relate to your yoga practice today. We will be reading Brian Dana Akers translation, available for purchase directly from the publisher here: https://www.yogavidya.com/hatha-yoga-pradipika.html
