Since I am just a beginner, I am just feeling my way around and Hatha Yoga is the branch of yoga that I am most fascinated with at present. I find the asanas or postures very relaxing and the basic breathing techniques are truly heaven-sent. I now find that there are many basic ways for yogic cure of the present scourge of common diseases, and in fact my back pain has been alleviated by some asanas that are not difficult to perform. Later on, as I will hopefully progress, I will also be interested to take other branches of yoga sucfh as the most royal of them all, the Raja Yoga and the other branches.
