Hatha Yoga Pradipika : Level 3 - Advanced Mystic Mudras

Delve into the profound wisdom of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, a cornerstone text of Hatha Yoga and a vital component of our comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training Course. This 14th-century masterwork, composed by Yogi Svātmārāma in the 15th century, offers a detailed exploration of the science of Hatha Yoga, focusing on the Willful Union of the Sun & Moon disks within the body.

The term Pradipika, meaning "to shed complete light," perfectly describes the text's purpose: to illuminate the system and techniques of Hatha Yoga. Yogi Svātmārāma wrote during a time when the ancient science of Raja Yoga had proliferated with numerous lineages and interpretations, potentially obscuring the original teachings. Driven by compassion, he aimed to provide a clear and concise understanding of Yogic philosophy and practice.

This module provides a deep dive into key aspects of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, including:

• Definition, Method, and Benefits of Kundalini-Laya-Tantra Yoga: Understand the core principles of this powerful system.
