Active Hatha Yoga Practice with Master Yoga Instructor Gabriel Halpern: The Hatha Yoga Pradipika
The most well known Yoga scriptures that are widely accepted by scholars and lay people alike are the Vedas, The Upanishads, The Yoga Sutras, and The Bhagavad Gita.
Not until the 14-15th century did the Hatha Yoga Pradipika emerge as a medieval compilation of how yoga practice evolved over the last 1500 years.
The HYP is a guide book to exploring human potential exploring thru asana-posture, pranayama-breath control, mudra-energetic locks, and samadhi-meditative states of absorption.
