“The word hatha is composed of two syllables: ha and tha. Ha stands for the seer, the Self, the soul (purusa), and for the sun (Surya) and the inbreath (prana). Tha represents nature (prakrti), consciousness (citta), the moon (chandra) and the outbreath (apana). Yoga, as already noted, means union. Hatha yoga, therefore, means the union of purusa with prakrti, consciousness with the soul, the sun with the moon, and prana with apana.“
Svātmārāma / foreword by B K S Iyengar / commentary by Hans Ulrich Rieker (1992): Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
