What is: Yoga

Hatha yoga, widely practised in the West, emphasises physical control and postures. The concentration on breathing and the alternate stretching and relaxing designed to effect all parts of the body have been found to be beneficial to health, most clearly in lowering of blood pressure.

Kundalini yoga, associated with tantra, is based on the physiology of the subtle body. It attempts to open centres of psychic energy said to be located in the spinal column and to activate the kundalini, a force located at the base of the spine.
