Hatha Yoga
(This is an excerpt from a University Of Metaphysical Sciences course at www.umsonline.org, please feel free to visit the school website)
Now we will look at some of the poses and how to perform them. There are thousands of poses, maybe even millions, but here is a small sampling of a few that you might be familiar with or would like to try. It is necessary and useful to buy books on the poses so you can see how they are performed if you plan on practicing at home. However, you can find just about any pose you would like to see for free at www.yogajournal.com, a wonderful resource for the budding yogi. Almost anything and everything you ever wanted to know about the practice of yoga and its asanas can be found there. It is a goldmine of information for the beginner, as are many sites on the internet.
