|a This was a live recording of an online lecture via Zoom given by Dr James Mallinson on the 26th March 2020 for the SOAS Centre of Yoga Studies. See below for details. In this lecture Dr James Mallinson charts the early history of the use of the term hathayoga in Sanskrit texts. It is first found in Vajrayana (tantric Buddhist) texts from the 8th century, in which it denotes a forceful method of preventing ejaculation by the male partner in sexual ritual. Its earliest usage in a non-Buddhist work is in the c. 12th-century Nath Saiva Amaraughaprabodha, in which it denotes one of four methods of yoga (the others are mantra, laya and raja). In the Amaraughaprabodha hathayoga's practices are three techniques of manipulating the breath taught in an earlier Vajrayana text, the Amrtasiddhi. Subsequent texts on hathayoga widen the term's scope to include other methods of manipulating the vital principles, and then, in the c. 1400 Hathapradipika, complex postures and methods of breath control. |
