This image shows pranamaya kosha, the sheath in the bodily structure Hatha Yoga works on, with the practice of: asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha. This is the sheath where Prana (life) is expanding in nadi (Prana conductors), forming cakra and is obstructed by mala (impurities, obstructions in ida and pingala nadi) and granthi (obstruction in sushumna). Asanas reveal the obstructions; pranayama clears the impurities in ida and pingala; mudras empower the purification process and bandhas clear the impurities in sushumna. That is how the Hatha Yogis describe Hatha Yoga.
See it all laid out in my book: “Pranayama Lost in Translation”

This picture is in a book: “The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga”. But what would Swatmarama and the Indian masters of Hatha Yoga make of this? This is irrelevant for Hatha Yoga. Ha (sun)- tha (mon) is the practice working within the nadi system, pingala (sun) and ida (moon). Not a single muscle is named in the Hatha texts but the Hatha Yogis speak about nadis, vayus, malas, granthis, kundalini, chakras… all elements of the pranic body, that subtle second sheath (kosha) of the human bodily system. Hatha postures are applied to purify the pranic body not to stretch muscles. The book should be called “Key muscles of Stretching Exercises” not Hatha Yoga.

Workshop 13th September: practice “Pranayama Lost in Translation”
My book, "Pranayama Lost in Translation" is out and available since just over a month.
Many people bought it, read it and I received very good reviews.
I have given several seminars and interviews on it, which created a lot of interest.
I would like to offer a 2 hour workshop (only £20) zoom or life in the Gift of India Yoga School, on Saturday the 13th September from 10.00am -12.00. I hope you will join whether you have read the book or not.
I will introduce the main arguments why pranayama is not taught correctly nowadays, and show the immense benefit of the original pranayama for our spiritual development as well as on our asana improvement.
We will practice and the workshop can be a great opportunity to ask questions and explore deeper.
Booking is on my website: www.angela-ashwin.co.uk
Hope you join me
Angela
