Join us for a comprehensive journey through the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, one of the most important classical texts in the Hatha Yoga tradition. Guided by Vedic scholar Dr. Vigneshwar Bhat, this course brings forward the depth of traditional yogic knowledge with clarity, precision, and heartfelt integrity.
Rooted in ancient wisdom and made relevant for modern-day practitioners, this study will unfold each chapter of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika over four focused sections. Students will explore key Sanskrit verses, their deeper meanings, and how to apply these timeless teachings in daily life and practice.
Part 2: Prāṇāyāma November 6- January 1, 2026
This second section of our study explores Chapter 2 of the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, where Svātmārāma shifts the focus from āsana to prāṇāyāma—the disciplined regulation of prāṇa through proper inhalation, exhalation, and retention.
Guided by Dr. Vigneshwar Bhat, this module unpacks the original Sanskrit verses with traditional commentary, offering direct insight into the purpose, method, and foundational importance of prāṇāyāma in the haṭha yoga path.
In this section, we will study:
The classical definition and goal of prāṇāyāma
The essential role of nāḍī śuddhi (cleansing of the subtle channels)
The correct method of prāṇāyāma practice, including pūraka, recaka, and kumbhaka
The preparatory guidelines and signs of progress
Cautions and qualifications for safe and effective practice
The relationship between prāṇāyāma, prāṇa, and the steadiness of mind
How this chapter bridges into later practices such as mudrā and pratyāhāra
Each verse will be explored in detail, honoring the original śāstra while offering clarity for sincere students and teachers seeking to understand yoga beyond technique.
This is a rare opportunity to study a classical text in its original form, with guidance that is both traditional and experientially alive.
