Hatha yoga is a type of yoga known for its practice of asanas or postures, the muscles that provide firmness and elasticity. It is based on ?gamas Tantric, unlike the raja yoga, which is based on the Vedas. The hatha yoga is one of the most widespread methods of yoga throughout the world. The hatha yoga is based on a series of postures, called asanas, which aims to ensure that the body is suitable for meditation. The creator of hatha yoga was the teacher or Mahdeva Shiva Nat (as his disciples, an incarnation of Lord Shiva), born near Arunachala in Tamil Nadu (southern India), who’s disciple was Matsyendra Nath. These two characters would have been historic, to which were later added the mythical creation of yoga by the god Shiva (Mahadeva is considered that Nath was the principal founder of Buddhism, Mahayana and Vajrayana Tantric).
