Do not think of yourself as a small, compressed, suffering thing. Think of yourself as graceful and expanding, no matter how unlikely it may seem at the time.

What exactly Hatha yoga actually is hasn’t changed for thousands of years. However our thinking and perception of it certainly has. Language is a powerful thing, and in different cultures the same word can have a variety of definitions. Throughout the evolution of yoga practice, the same word – Hatha – has come to mean different things too.

Popular thinking ‘in the West’ (an all-too-common expression now), is that Hatha yoga is about balancing the body and mind. ‘Ha’ represents the esoteric sun, and ‘tha’ the moon. The practice of Hatha yoga aims to join, yoke, or balance these two energies.

A yoga class described as ‘Hatha’ will typically involve a set of physical postures (yoga poses) and breathing techniques. These are typically practised more slowly and with more static posture holds than a Vinyasa flow or Ashtanga class. And indeed, that is how we describe our Hatha yoga classes on EkhartYoga.

Literally however, Hatha means ‘force’ and is more traditionally defined as ‘the yoga of force’, or ‘the means of attaining a state of yoga through force’. So Hatha yoga can be considered as anything you might do with the body, including:

asana – yoga postures (practised in any style of ‘yoga’) pranayama – breathing techniques mantra – chanting or reciting mudra – hand gestures shatkriyas and shatkarmas – cleansing techniques types of visualisation. Mark Singleton – author of ‘Yoga Body’, and a Senior Research Fellow at SOAS London University – spoke at a lecture I attended. He remarked; “what’s physical and what’s not is up for question. No matter what one does, isn’t it all physical?”. . 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬: Website: https://aatmyogashala.com/ Call OR WhatsApp: +91-8445993766 E-mail: AatmYogashala@gmail.com

Eka Pada Sarvangasana (One-Legged Shoulder Stand):

From Sarvangasana, slowly lower one leg towards the floor behind you while keeping the other leg vertical. This variation challenges your balance and strengthens your core.

[hindutempletalk]

Iyengar Yoga, stemming from the teachings of B. K. S. Iyengar, emerged as a distinct form of yoga, drawing its roots from Tirumalai Krishnamacharya's tutelage.

Why we say Body Neutral:

We’re not knocking the body positivity movement. It serves a very important purpose on a wide societal scale. And despite any flaws or failures, has made a huge impact in terms of representation and inclusion. Unquestionably, you deserve to see yourself represented with love and care and reverence. Likewise, you deserve to love and celebrate yourself. But you also deserve grace, patience, and practical acceptance. And on those fronts, body positivity is often less effective. As a movement, body positivity is wonderful on broad societal levels, but can be less serviceable on an actionable, individual scale. Especially for bodies with disabilities - visible and invisible alike.

When advocating for true inclusion, 'Body positivity' isn't always reasonable. Sometimes it's an explicitly unfair expectation. There are plenty of people who will never attain a body that feels loveable (or loving)... or for whom their body relationship is variable or unstable. And the thing is, that’s okay. Demanding love and positivity from such situations is illogical, and can often be outright harmful.

That is why, at Hearthstone, we acknowledge an important distinction between health and wellness. We affirm that health is not a moral virtue, nor indicative of value… and that neither health, size, nor ability changes a person’s inherent worth and worthiness. We understand that health is widely variable, and – for some – an unattainable expectation. But we believe that, regardless of health, EVERYONE is capable and worthy of achieving a life of wellness with acceptance, support, and validation.

No matter your limitations, you can still have a fulfilling life - on YOUR terms. No matter your variance of ability, you still deserve to be celebrated, to feel included, and to participate fully. That's why we reach for self-acceptance rather than pushing for body positivity. We aim to be body neutral - because bodies are just bodies. And that's okay!

Wellness is for EVERY body. And we do our best to make it accessible to everybody. We include techniques from Iyengar, yin, and restorative yoga that allow us to adapt poses for a range of needs. We provide props, modifications, and accommodations for every type of body. So that no one is excluded based on ability. Because we get it.

Our facilitators each have their own stories. We're fat, disabled, gender-diverse, neuro-divergent, and more. We know exactly what it's like to have a body that isn't always loveable or yoga approved. So we do our very best to create a space that's safe, accepting, inclusive, and supportive no matter who you are, who you love, who you worship, or who you want to be.

We have a passion for WELLNESS because we know firsthand just how hard-won but life-changing it can be. Every member of our small team has their own story of healing. We’ve been there. We’ve gotten sick, gotten stuck, gotten worse, gotten stable, and gotten through it. Every day we master more of what it means to truly be well, even when healing isn’t linear. And it’s our mission and honour to pass that hard-won wisdom on to you – no positivity necessary.

When it comes down to it, what keeps you showing up for asana? In over 2 decades of teaching, i’ve observed how usually the most dedicated students practice consistently because they know if they don’t, their suffering, pain, anxiety, inflammation etc will increase in ways that hugely impacts their life. Many people come to asana initially for relief. And for the first 5 to 10 years of practice, this often remains the driving force, although I’ve also seen with long-term practitioners how as time goes on, elements of spiritual, transformation, and body consciousness, etc. takes the lead. My initial interest in yoga was initially driven by inquiry about perception and consciousness, and a quest for understanding more intimately what does divinity, purpose, and being alive, really mean. The embodied element of asana was key, though, and the effects on my body, and especially my mind continue to fuel my commitment practice. I’m curious how this is especially for other folks who have a committed practice. Are you more motivated by spirituality/ joy, or by reducing suffering? Or would you answer this entirely outside those parameters? #heyamdukhamanagatam ☀️ I’m offering a free workshop in 6 days exploring how to clear the psychological barriers to practice, come!?
