Nath yoga Parampara

Traditional Hatha Yoga Teaching from Nath Parampara (Tradition)

Nath, meaning, “Lord” or “Protector” is used to mention Saints, Sages or Gurus of the Nath Tradition. The tradition was established by Shiva, which was then followed by Matsyendra and further by Goraksha. It is a Heterodox Siddha (Adept) tradition. Hatha Yoga is also known as Nath Yoga as it was introduced by Nath Sampradaya. The Nath tradition follows Adinath Shiva, though they have many sub-sects.

Mahayogi Guru Gorakshanath founded the authentic tradition of yoga which is now followed worldwide. There are around 50 texts on various aspects and methods of yoga, written by Gorakshanath. The yoga ttc in Goa offered by the school also follows the same tradition and customs of yoga.

What is Hatha yoga?

Hatha yoga is also a type of yoga that is very important for both the physical and mental development of a human being. It is said that it is one of the oldest systems in the world which has been used for many centuries. To maintain balance in the body, Hatha Yoga is considered necessary and it is also a well-proven technique to keep the mind calm. It is believed that Lord Shiva first did Hatha Yoga, hence its mainstream has been Shaivism, but later the Siddhas and Naths continued the tradition of Hatha Yoga. The followers of Gorakhnath used to practice hatha yoga.

Hatha Yoga is not just an only asana, indeed it is a series of many different Yogasanas which is performed at a given interval of time.

Pranayama – The Science of Breathe

The word Pranayama is derived from two words of Sanskrit grammar ‘Prana’ and ‘Ayam’. The word Prana in Sanskrit is derived from the root ‘An’ with the prefix ‘Pra’. The ‘Un’ metal signifies vitality. Thus the word ‘Prana’ means the power of consciousness. The word ‘Ayama’ means to regulate. In this way, the method of controlling prana by regulation of external breathing, special breathing techniques to control prana and acquiring the ability to take subtle and long breaths, is called pranayama.

Maharishi Patanjali explained Pranayama in his book

तस्मिन् सति श्वास प्रश्वास योग वि विच्छेदः प्राणायामः (Yoga Sutra 2/49)
tasmin sati shvasaprashvasayorgativichchhedah pranayamah (Yoga Sutra 2.49)

Meaning: The regulation of the natural movement of breath and exhalation when the matter is stable, is Pranayama, says Patanjali. Through the practice of Pranayama, the veil of impermanence gets weakened and the ability to dharna comes.

The 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in India explains the following Elements of Pranayama.

Pancha Prana – There are five major pranas in Pranayama which are known as Pancha Prana. These five pranas are Prana, Apana, Samana,
Udana, and Vyana.

Pancha Upaprana – Pancha Upaprana are the five supporting elements of pancha prana which are Naga, Kurma, Krikala, Devadatta, and
Dhananjaya

Natural and Yogic Breathe – Yogic way of breathing calms the nervous system and helps the mind the most. In this, the time of exhalation is
longer than inhalation.

Puraka, Recaka and Kumbhaka – Maharishi Patanjali has mainly given three distinctions of Pranayama.

  • Recaka – It is the process of exhalation of breathing in Pranayama.
  • Puraka – Puraka is inhalation of breathing in Pranayama.
  • Kumbhaka – Kumbhaka is about retaining or holding the breath during the process of Pranayama. There are two types of Kumbhaka Pranayama,

Antara Kumbhaka – Also known as the inner Kumbhaka, it is the
retention of breath after inhalation.
Bahya or Bahir Kumbhaka – Also known as the outer Kumbhaka, it is the retention of breath after exhalation.

Nadi Shodhana – Nadis are the energy channels of the body. When one performs Nadi Shodana pranayama, nadis get purified and the prana
energy starts flowing in these channels.

Anulom Vilom – An alternate nostril breathing, Anulom Vilom is done to balance the life force energy or pranic energy.

Bhastrika – Bhastrika is a rapid pranayama process which involves fast inhalation and exhalation. The same round is repeated many times.

Ujjayi Pranayama – First of all sit in any meditative posture. Keep the waist and neck straight. Breathe through both nostrils by compressing
the throat so that the sound (like of a small child’s snort, waves) is produced slowly. After that, do Kumbhaka for as long as possible, then
make Pranava mudra of Pranayama and exhale slowly from the left nostril. Repeat this action over and over again. This is known as Ujjayi
Pranayama.

Surya Bhedi – Suryabhedan is the first pranayama in Hathapradipika. It is right-nostril breathing. With the help of this pranayama, solar energy
gets activated in our bodies.

Chandra Bhedi – It is left-nostril breathing related to Chandra Nadi or the Moon Channel of the body. With the help of this pranayama, lunar
energy gets activated in our bodies.

Sheetali – It is also known as Cooling Breath. The meaning of Sheetali is that the meaning of saying coolness is that by doing this pranayama, the
body gets coolness. That is why it is called Sheetali Pranayama. This type of pranayama is like a tree providing plenty of oxygen. Also, the pranayama is beneficial in giving peace and coolness and so can be done in the
summer season.

Sheetkari – The meaning of Sheetkari means coolness, which means something that cools our body and mind. When you do this type of pranayama, the sound of the word ‘Sheet’ has to come out of the mouth.

Bhramari – Bhramari Pranayam is a special method of breathing meditation in which sound like a bee is also practiced.

Shatkarma or Six Cleansing Techniques
Yoga Teacher Training in Goa

कर्म षटकमिदं गोप्यं घटशोधनकारकम्।
विचित्रगुणसंधायि पूज्यते योगिपुंगवैः।। (Hatha Yoga Pradipika 2/23)
karma ṣhaṭkamidaṃ ghopyaṃ ghaṭa-śodhana-kārakam |
vichitra-ghuṇa-sandhāya pūjyate yoghi-pungghavaiḥ ||

Chapter 2, Verse 23 of Hatha Yoga Pradipika says that only after the purification of the body, the seeker is successful in getting rid of the internal wastes. Before Pranayama, their need has also been said because it is not possible to get success in sadhana due to the lack of circulation of life in the Nadis filled with faeces.

In the olden times, six types of Kriya were done to make the body healthy and to do the high practice of Pranayama and Asana. The yogi could purify the body internally as well. These six types of action are called Shatkarma (Shatkriya). In Hatha Yoga Pradipika, it is depicted in the form of Kriya.

These Shatkarma Techniques are –

  • Dhauti
  • Basti
  • Neti
  • Nauli
  • Trataka
  • Kapalbhati

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatkarma

All these actions are associated with different parts of the body. By doing these, the body is completely purified internally. Now we share a little information about all these techniques with you, which is easy to understand.

Dhauti – Dhauti is a Sanskrit word that means “purification”. It is
derived from the root word “dhau” which means “to wash.” Dhauti
Kriya is specially performed for the complete cleansing of the internal
body system. It is of four types namely, Antara (internal) Dhauti, Danta
(teeth) Dhauti, Hrida (cardiac or chest region) Dhauti and Mula
Shodhana (rectal cleansing).

Basti – The large intestine and rectum are purified through basti kriya.
It is helpful in removing the stuck waste food material in the hollow part
of the intestine. In simple terms, Basti Kriya cleanses the extra waste

material from the body. The modern name for basti kriya is Enema.
There are two types of Basti, Jala Basti, and ‎Sthala Basti.

Neti – The main purpose of this action is to purify the nasal passages. By doing this, the impure and blocked nostrils will open completely. Due to this the irregularity of breathing is removed. That is why it is also called a nasal cleansing exercise.

Nauli – Nauli is considered a difficult exercise, which can only be learned with perseverance and patience. Nauli is an essential action for the purification and toning of the stomach and its internal organs.

Trataka – Trataka Kriya is related to the eyes. It improves eyesight and increases focus. It is useful in mental concentration. It should be started with candlelight in the beginning. There should be a distance of around 2 meters between the eye and the law of the candle.

Kapalbhati – Kapalbhati is a part of the yoga system pranayama which is used to cleanse the body. The word Kapalbhati is made up of two words: Kapal means ‘forehead’ and Bhati means ‘sign’. The brain is well affected due to the process.

Student Testimonial

Yoga Teacher Training Student’s Review

We are confidently conveying and conducting yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, Goa, and Kerala because of the belief and love, we get from our students. These reviews by our ex-students are an example of this.

Learning yoga with Akshat yogasala has been the most enriching experience for me . The time spent doing yoga with one of the most cherished moments for me where Akshat yoga classes manages to blend physical exertion to release stress calm my senses. they is not only a good trainer but a good human being..not to forget doing yoga classes with Akshat Yogasala just perfect for yoga class

Gaurav Rawat

Teacher Rajat introduced me into Hatha yoga and helped me a lot also personally. I learned a lot not only about adjustment of the yoga asanas but also a lot about yoga philosophy which I think is very important. I learned that to be a yoga teacher doesn’t mean I must be super flexible in body but more to be flexible in my mind and be able to share this knowledge with all my students. The role of the teacher is to help the students to improve their life. I know that I can’t just stop with one certificate, I must continue study – it is a whole life journey. The most important what I learned is that “yoga is not an exercise but a life style”. And I feel that now it is in my hand to introduce that into western world.
And honestly, Rishikesh is one of the most beautiful places I have been. Already missing having chai by the river.

Hana Bartakova

Meeting Rajat, the owner of Akshat Yoga Shala has been life changer and a huge step in my yoga path. He is inspiring and the quality of the teaching is the best you can find. It’s a mix of pushing you to go further in your practice and also very kind and benevolent when needed. I learnt so much about the yoga philosophy, the correct execution of the postures and so much more I can hardly describe! I really recommend if you want to go further in your yoga journey!!
