Babaji’s Kriya Hatha Yogam

Since pre-historic times Yoga has been practiced as a holistic science and art of healing. The Siddhas (Super Masters of Yoga)) talk about 8.4 million asanas which the most important are 17 standard asanas, plus the Science of Sun Worship. This brings us to the three most important principles of Kriya, Hatha Yoga: (1) practice the asanas in stages (without spraining or straining yourself). (2) practice them in pairs (right handed and left-handed or positive and negative poses) (3) Never, never hold the breath in all activities.

Yoga is a growing science, like all sciences and Babaji has made two major contributions to the growth of Hatha Yoga. These contributions are: (1) Asanas Kriyas  or exercises and (two) practicing them in pairs, which saves a lot of time and enables one to practice a number of Asanas within a few minutes in a busy world where time is a great asset.
