    Attitudes and Principles in Hridaya Hatha Yoga

    Hridaya Hatha Yoga creates the condition for deep relaxation and for opening to realize the “transfiguration” of the body itself, while bringing amazing purifications at the physical, psychological, and mental levels. We learn how to awaken and become aware of subtle energies, the chakra system, and kundalini – allowing a profound psycho-mental regeneration.

    During the practice of Hatha Yoga, the physical asanas combine with Advaita, the vision based on non-duality. The asanas are performed while holding the inner spiritual attitudes recommended in traditional texts of Tantra and Shaivism including Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, Spanda Karika, Shiva Sutra, etc.

    Attitudes:

    • Nirmana Kaya – The transfigured physical body of a realised being. A body that is freed from tension, memories of traumas, etc.
    • Sama Rasa – The divine attributes of the Spiritual Heart are perfectly reflected in our physical body. The awareness of the divine nature of the physical body. The body is perceived as being more and more ethereal, full of light, love, bliss, freedom.
    • The Inner Asana – The awareness of the Background of Stillness that is revealed through the pauses after inhalation and exhalation.
    • The Witness Consciousness – We remain a witness of our physical body and of the energies. The awareness of the Heart Center, asking the question “Who am I ?” and guiding the “I am” back to the Source.

    Practical Principles:

    1. Any dynamic exercise should dissolve into Stillness. The immobility of the body is a recalling of the fundamental stillness of our being.

    2. We constantly evoke Sama Rasa – a transfigured, divine physical body, full of light.

    3. The Witness Attitude should be kept during the entire session of hatha yoga (Including the moments of entering in and coming out of the asanas).

    4. Whenever we note that we have lost the Witness Attitude, by asking the question “Who am I ?” we acknowledge again the background of Stillness and Awareness – guiding the “I am” back to the Source.

    5. We start and end the hatha yoga practice reminding ourselves that yoga is ultimately a spiritual art, and that the revelations which we may experience cannot be derived only from our personal effort alone, but primarily from that capacity to surrender or let go of our individual limitations.

    6. If strain appears, we will not direct our attention to it, maintaining and emphasising the attention on the background of the Stillness.

    7. We constantly keep the Inner Asana (the awareness of the pauses after inhalation and exhalation, thus settling ourselves into the Background of Stillness, our real nature).
