The true legacy of India and its Yoga philosophy is to metaphysics, which is the study of the reality behind what is perceived through our five senses. The ancient masters of Yoga had tools much different than today’s microscopes and particle colliders. Their laboratory was their focus and concentration which gave them the key to the door of higher consciousness and access to wisdom and unconditional love.
Ancient masters of Yoga realized that there is an invisible world of light and vibrating energy that is the blueprint for our material world.
Today, most people think of Yoga as a series of postures used to strengthen and stretch the body. While Hatha Yoga does that, there is so much more to Yoga. Raja Yoga works with the subtle energies of breath and consciousness to improve and stretch the mind. Beyond the mind is super consciousness also known as intuition.
Raja Yoga includes the power of the Niyamas for finding your unique purpose, achieving deep meditations, focusing your willpower, visualizing achieving your goals, and feeling genuine and steady contentment and gratitude.
Those who enjoy the health and fitness benefits of Hatha Yogahave a leg up toward understanding and attaining the treasures of Raja Yoga. You’ll find Hatha Yoga to be a great platform on which to build Niyama’s tower of techniques and principles that improve and deepen the joy of living.
