This Yoga has been treated bad in the west.

Classes held in Hatha Yoga are usually no more than a keep slim and get fit sessions. In addition, most of the practitioners and teachers don't really know what they are doing. The result being that a great deal of damage can be done.

Chakras can be opened out of order, causing a great deal of mental torment, and in the end, a turning away from what Yoga is really all about.

No one should start this study unless his teacher is capable of taking him or her on to the next and further stages of Yoga. In this way it becomes an integrated study.

There are a number of major asanas, or postures. Nine in fact, and from these nine, they grow to about forty minor ones and two hundred lesser ones.

Given the proper training a student will develop a trained will and vital health. When these posture are mastered, and the chakras have been vitalized and opened in their proper order, then one can do as PatanJali says, "Find a comfortable seat."

With the body poised, controlled and absolutely still, the tremendous energy of the Kundalini force can be lifted up the Shushumna canal in the spine and through each of the chakras in proper order, where It can finally unite with the thousand petal (sarashahara center) lotus at the top of the head.

This is the center that is so vulnerable in baby's head. Hatha Yoga is used primarily to awaken the Kundalini force situated in the Muladhara center. It is here where the three and a half coils of the serpent force lies coiled and dormant.

Situated between the anus and the sexual organs this power within everyone needs to be awakened before a true Spiritual journey can take place. Once it has been awakened, it is then lifted to the second center.
