How Hatha Yoga Became More Popular

Comparison of Hatha and Raja Yoga

Later, in the 11th Century A.D., Gorakshanath and his disciples developed Hatha Yoga, where Asanas, Pranayama, Pratyahara were the main Angas - branches. Goraksha admitted that where Hatha ends Raja Yoga starts.

Actually, Hatha Yoga was one of the satellites of Raja Yoga; but Hatha became more known and popular because it was something that could be seen and understood by the common man; whereas Raja was for those with a discriminative mind.

Hatha aims to build strength, flexibility, suppleness, a slim body and so forth, whereas Raja and other forms of yoga are more internal and the benefits are more subjective.
