This text elucidates the entire science of hatha yoga(asana,pranayama,shatkarma,mudra and bandha) as it was conceived and practised not only for healthand fitness but for awakening the vital energies:pranas,chakras and kundalini shakti.It points out that hatha yoga is not just a physical practice but a process of cellular transmutation from gross to subtle to divine.Thus hatha yoga was considered to be the foundation of all higher yogas. Line drawings and diagrams illustrate the text. Review: A Detailed Exposition on the Origins of Hatha Yoga - Hatha yoga as we know it today has many roots in this work, which is actually comparatively recent, being "only" a few hundred years old. The author very nicely explains each verse in clear, modern English, and her grasp of, and passion for the topic is present. The Pradiipika needs this sort of analysis, because just reading a translation of the verses does very little in getting to what the original creator of the work meant in many cases. Many practices are given, from cleansing techniques, to bandhas and other bodily-related methods, to experiencing various meditative states of consciousness. Review: Amazing - I love this piece. My students in each Yoga Teacher Training I lead are required to read this. ## Features - Choice of many people - This product will be an excellent pick for you - It is made up of premium quality material. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #46,270 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #180 in New Thought #275 in Meditation (Books) #664 in Happiness Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,277 Reviews | ## Images ![Hatha Yoga Pradipika - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ko279go7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Detailed Exposition on the Origins of Hatha Yoga *by V***V on August 28, 2015* Hatha yoga as we know it today has many roots in this work, which is actually comparatively recent, being "only" a few hundred years old.

My students in each Yoga Teacher Training I lead are required to read this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best commentary in modern times *by S***R on October 8, 2011* This book is commentary on the original work with the same "Hatha Yoga Pradipika" by Yogi Swatmarama written in Sanskrit language, many centuries ago. Hatha Yoga Pradipika meaning Light on Hatha Yoga. Book contains the original Sanskrit text compiled by Yogi Swatmarama with a translation and thorough Commentary in English by Swami Muktibodhananda under the guidance of Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswathi. There is a wonderful introductory note of 20 pages on Hatha Yoga by Swamiji Satyanananda Saraswathi. Treatise has 4 major parts. They are 1.Asana 2.Shatkarma and Pranayama 3. Mudra and Bandha 4. Samadhi. BSY (Bihar School of Yoga)/ Yoga Publications Trust (YPT) has published many books. One of their popular publication is "Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha" (APMB) written by Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswathi. There are many over lapping points between these books. However the authors have handled carefully and brought out the differences. If any one is keen to know the difference between yoga and hatha yoga, they should read HYP book. APMB is a book for beginners and easy to read. HYP is translation work covering APMB and much more. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hatha Yoga Pradipika - The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Light on Yoga: The Bible of Modern Yoga --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/4112570-hatha-yoga-pradipika](https://www.desertcart.in/products/4112570-hatha-yoga-pradipika) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
