The Best Tips to Learn the "Yoga Burn" Hatha Yoga System

Combining stretching, strength building, meditation, and weight loss

Q. Lewis, what exactly is Yoga and where can I learn it as a path to greater health, and happiness?

A. There are many types of Yoga. The kind most people learn to do as a type of stress reduction, stretching and breathing exercise is called Hatha yoga

If you want to learn how to do it, I recommend the Yoga Burn System, since it is easy to learn and a great approach to increased wellness, fitness, and weight loss.

The history of Hatha yoga is quite interesting. The Sanskrit word हठ haṭha literally means "force" and thus alludes to a system of physical techniques.

The oldest dated text so far found to describe haṭha yoga, the 11th-century Amṛtasiddhi, comes from a tantric Buddhist milieu. The oldest texts to use the terminology of Hatha are also Vajrayana Buddhist. Later haṭha yoga texts adopt the practices of haṭha yoga mudras into a melding of various systems which focus on Prana (vital life force) and the raising of kuṇḍalinī through energy channels and chakras.

In the 20th century, a development of haṭha yoga, focusing particularly on asanas (the physical postures), became popular throughout the world as a form of physical exercise. This modern form of yoga is now widely known simply as "yoga".

It is important to note that for many Hatha Yoga is an essential element in any spiritual practice, including mindful meditation. According to the Indologist James Mallinson, some haṭha yoga style techniques practiced only by ascetics can be traced back at least to the 1st-century CE, in texts such as the Sanskrit epics (Hinduism) and the Pali canon (Buddhism).

The Pali canon contains three passages in which the Buddha describes pressing the tongue against the palate for the purposes of controlling hunger or the mind, depending on the passage. This tongue pressing is a common technique in many modern forms of meditation. The Buddha also used a posture where pressure is put on the perineum with the heel, similar to modern postures used to stimulate Kundalini.[a] In the Mahāsaccaka sutta (MN 36), the Buddha mentions how physical practices such as various meditations on holding one's breath did not help him "attain to greater excellence in noble knowledge and insight which transcends the human condition."

One of the things I love most about Hatha yoga is that it is not a competitive form of exercise.

"A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms."

The Takeaway

There are many forms of yoga, Hatha yoga just being one of many. Still, it is one of the easiest approaches to merging meditation, the breath, and mindfulness.
