There is always much about the many health benefits of Hatha Yoga and how it aids in digestion, longevity, flexibility....etc However, i feel because it was imported to the West there is never much discussion on the esoteric side of Hatha Yoga. I have been practicing basic Sun Salutations every morning for almost a year now and how found it complements my practice immensely....however i would to go into the specifics of how it can compliment ones practices? These are just a few questions i though of. -To what degree can Hatha Yoga open one's channels? -Is basic Sun Salutations enough to open the whole body? -Does flexibility mean that all channels are open in that area? -Are there other esoteric dimensions to Hatha Yoga besides the simple physical movements? -My 2 cents, Peace
