💫 Exploring the HATHA YOGA PRADIPIKA with Loren Baker. 💫
The next in our Bohemia School of Yoga advanced modules! Coming to Yoga Bohemia the evening of March 6 and weekend of March 9-10th.
Hatha Yoga Pradipika is one of the ancient yoga books on hatha yoga. The book is believed to be written around fifteenth century by Svatmarama. Hatha Yoga Pradipika is one of the original classics that has survived till date. The book is hailed as one of the best yoga books on the world as of now. The book is divided into four chapters in total. The book like Shiva Shamita also tells, the knowledge that was given by Lord Shiva or Adhinatha who gave yoga to the human beings. The entire book gives the knowledge of chakra, shakti, posture and asana.
If you’ve ever thought that a Hatha Yoga class was just a restorative practice, you’re missing out on the rich context available for your practice.
Pradipika means a “light” or “lamp,” and indeed this text is a guide for the practice of Hatha Yoga. Let your light shine and join us for a module exploring this rich text!
This introduction to Hatha Yoga Pradipika will explore a wide range of topics including:

AND… if you can’t make it to the full module, join us for our HATHA YOGA POP-UP Wednesday March 6 from 6:30-8pm which will feature Master, Swami Bua Longevity sequence for living a long life.
Swami taught - “Be kind, be tolerant, be peaceful. Begin the day with love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love, end the day with love. That is the way to God.”
Swamiji left his earthly body in 2011 at the incredible age of 122, a testament to his life-long practice. He always told us students that longevity depends on flexibility of the spine, leading a sattvic life and practicing daily sadhana.
