Hatha Yoga is traditionally linked to Hindu India.
Yet over the past few decades, academic research, ancient texts, and Eastern teachings have opened another path: that of deep Buddhist influences woven into its energetic practices, visualizations, and understanding of the subtle body.

This book offers a clear, illustrated, and accessible exploration of this fascinating question.
It is written for yoga teachers, practitioners of all styles, and anyone passionate about Indian and Tibetan philosophy.

You will discover:

✔ The overlooked influence of Buddhist yogis in the emergence of Hatha Yoga
✔ Parallels between subtle channels, winds, and energies — and their shared goals of practice
✔ Teachings common to tantric, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions
✔ Ancient Tibetan practices placed in dialogue with Hatha Yoga
✔ A reading of history far from modern clichés
✔ A lively, pedagogical, well-documented approach — fully illustrated in color

This book does not seek to impose a conclusion, but to open space for reflection — supported by facts, images, cultural bridges, and a vision of yoga as a path of transformation of body and mind, far beyond religious boundaries.

An essential resource for those who wish to understand the depth, richness, and true history of yoga
