Hatha Yoga Yatra 2

Hatha Yoga Yatra 2: Understanding Asana and Pranayama by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati offers a comprehensive dive into the core practices of Hatha Yoga—asana (postures) and pranayama (breath management). Published by Yoga Publications Trust, this book compiles satsangs given at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth. It places physical postures and energy-control techniques into the broader context of spiritual life, setting an authentic standard based on the original intentions of classical yoga.

Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati was born in Rajnandgaon (Chhattisgarh) in 1960 and was chosen by his guru, Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati, to lead the Bihar School of Yoga. Appointed as the Head of Bihar School of Yoga in 1983 and founding Bihar Yoga Bharati in 1994, Swamiji has spent decades propagating yoga worldwide. In 2017, he was awarded the prestigious Padma Bhushan for his outstanding contribution to yoga and humanity.

Hatha Yoga Yatra 2: Understanding Asana and Pranayama presents an in-depth exploration of two fundamental pillars of Hatha Yoga—asana (physical postures) and pranayama (breath control). Authored by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati and published by Yoga Publications Trust, this book is a compilation of satsangs delivered during the Asana-Pranayama Intensive program at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth.
​As part of the "Second Chapter of Yoga" initiative, this text goes beyond the physical and mechanics of exercises to place asana and pranayama within the broader context of spiritual development and inner transformation, offering practitioners a clear pathway to align with classical yogic principles.
