It is the best of exercising and stretching yourselves in the entire manner and provides you the best platform for making your life very beautiful and enhanced. It is the way for your spiritual realization and the important of making it an integral part of your life.
The whole meaning of this word is harmonizing your body or soul. The principle on which hatha yoga works is feeling, thinking, willing and acting. These all when come in perfect balance which makes it a perfect eternal bliss. It is a cleansing process and which helps in removing the blockages of your body and soul. It is a source of energy to remove the repetitive and constant negative energy. It purifies your mind and soul making it very important part of your cleansing.
It describes the Mudras and mental state of mind which results in the level of concentration. It also provides freedom from all the unnecessary worldly choices which would create the right impact on your body and would indirectly be positive for your soul too. This is also a state of withdrawal and the spontaneous state of meditation. Some of the several mudras in Hatha yoga are Vajroli Mudra, Sahajoli Mudra, Khechari Mudra, Shambhavi Mudra, Virpri Karani.
