Explore samadhi as the signless state of Shiva, traversing nada and bindu toward the ocean of consciousness, where supreme consciousness is formless and realized.
Explore the various synonyms for samadhi across yoga traditions, such as Raj yoga, yoga of emptiness, the art of immortality, and beyond opposites, to reach the first samadhi.
Concentrating prana into a central channel merges prana and mind, yielding the first samadhi. Before that, balance breath and body through pranayama, mudras, and bandhas to steady the mind.
Rise of kundalini marks the final goal, making mudras and bandhas complete their effects and guiding inner awakening toward samadhi; seek intense practice within safe, stage-wise limits.
Apply the three conditions to progress: live in a good locality, restrain pranav force up the cosmic chakra, and collect self-trauma to sustain it at the highest potential level.
Uncover how time bifurcates from zero into day and night, revealing timelessness as a yoga secret. Focus on the one nodi that unites seventy-two thousand noddies and Shakti.
Explore Swara yoga and brain breathing, where mind and breath mix and pranayama concentrates the mind; Mercury's alchemical role illustrates stabilizing mind toward higher consciousness.
Explore how breath, mind, and senses interrelate through laya and nada, revealing how absorption of consciousness shapes breathing, mood, and access to deeper states of awareness.
Discover how absorbed consciousness reveals Moksha, the first liberation of immortality, bringing fearlessness and bliss. Explore how this layer of yoga unlocks immortality and sets the stage for deeper Samadhi.
Learn the mystic Shambhala mudra, turning the eyes inward and the five senses away from the outside world. Discover inner self without books or texts, guiding higher consciousness.
Practice the shumba mudra and twilight mudra, Parvati's mudra of the feminine form of Shiva, with eyes open, gazing unblinkingly at the self as the universe, perceiving divine existence.
Explore how sumbawa and cagily mudras mark distinct seats of consciousness—the heart and the mind—leading to heart bliss and mind bliss absorbed in the great emptiness.
Practice the no mind technique by gazing down the bridge of the nose at a light in a crystal ball, breathe to lift it to the top of the head.
Taraka mudra crosses over by focusing the inner light at the top of the head after kundalini awakens. Breathe very light, deep, and practice only in pranayama states.
Explore the internal secret of the Katri mudra as breath shifts through the space element, unlocks prana awareness and the cosmic circle toward the skywalker state through Suara Yoga.
Explore turiya by using kedgeree mudra with pranayama, rising prana through the bundles, crossing over no mind to mind overmind, achieving a super consciousness beyond waking, dream, and deep sleep.
AryaMarga Yoga is pleased to present the teachings of Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the 14th century master-text that details the science of the Willful Union of the Sun & Moon disks. This course is part of the 4 Yoga Teacher Training Course, which comprises of Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Samkhya Yoga, Pancha Tattva Asana Kriya and Pancha Tattva Pranayama Kriya.
By Yogī Swātmārāma’s time, (approx. 14 th -15 th Cent. AD) Raja Yoga had already become so ancient a science of Yoga, with such an inordinate number of lineages and individual Yogīs claiming their own interpretations of the system, that the original Lineage teachings of Yoga seemed at risk of disappearing from the public consciousness. Yogī Swātmārāma, out of compassion, sees the need for a clear understanding of the ancient Yogic view, it’s system and techniques, so that aspirants may overcome the perplexity born through multiple and varied interpretations of Yoga. To this end, the Clear Light on Haṭha /Haṭha Pradīpika has been composed by Yogī Swātmārāma.
