The word yoga evokes many images, from sages sitting in the lotus position on the banks of the Ganges to stretch pants-clad young people bounding through acrobatic workouts. It can be hard to know what you’re signing up for when you enroll in a yoga class. So, what is Hridaya Hatha Yoga? In short, it’s a way to use the body to discover the Self.
At Hridaya, we practice contemplative Hatha Yoga, integrating asanas (physical postures) with Advaita, the non-dual vision. The focus is on slow, gentle movements that engage not only the body but all levels of the being, fostering Self-awareness. While holding each posture, we observe thoughts, emotions, and sensations without reacting, connecting to the Spiritual Heart. Rooted in Tantra Yoga and Kashmir Shaivism, this approach emphasizes relaxation and happiness over effort, making it an ideal foundation for your spiritual journey.
Each Hridaya Module is crafted to deepen your practice and unlock the transformative power of the Heart. Embark on a journey of Self-revelation, connecting more deeply with your True Nature while experiencing practices that will enrich and elevate your spiritual path.

Hridaya Hatha Yoga is natural yoga, a free expression of energy, where everything is done straight from the Heart. We don’t try to push energy in certain directions or to achieve specific results. That only further strengthens the mind and the individual will.
Instead, we share meditative attitudes to help you develop an inner sense of freedom. These attitudes imbue your Hatha Yoga practice with a deeper meaning and enhance your ability to focus and express your personality. You become more discerning, balanced, and dynamic.
The Spiritual Heart expresses its power of love and happiness in every asana. We do not focus on performing a spectacular or artistic pose, but on awakening and expressing the Heart’s inner happiness. This happiness radiates throughout the body, removing tension, strain, and stress. We avoid practicing in a dry, mechanical way and seek to awaken the joy, love, and clarity generated by the awareness of the present moment.
When you hold an asana without tension or unnecessary muscle contractions, you perceive a “blossoming” of the flow of energies. In this way, the practice reflects a positive, life-affirming attitude. It allows you to open your heart and celebrate life. The asana becomes a mechanism for transformation and healing, a process for revealing your higher Self, not just an energizing and healthy exercise.
You begin to experience yoga as a spiritual art, understanding that the revelations that arise don’t derive from personal effort alone, but from the capacity to surrender personal limitations.

We see the physical body as a divine instrument designed to enable us to experience the ecstasy of recognizing and glorifying the Infinite One, advaita, in multiplicity, samsara.
The body is a majestic manifestation of the spirit, not just a mass of dense matter. Similarly, thoughts, desires, passions, and emotions are not obstacles to spiritual awakening to be repressed or eliminated. Instead, they are tools for expanding individual consciousness and even transcending it.
The physical body and subtle energies represent divine gifts that can help you discover true freedom. What is Hridaya Hatha Yoga? It is a practice that develops and refines all aspects of the being: the body, mind, emotions, intuition, and most fundamental virtues.
