There are two broad divisions of Yoga—Haṭha Yoga and Rāja Yoga. The two are interconnected and have to be practised simultaneously. Haṭha Yoga is mainly concerned with disciplining the body by various kinds of exercises. Standing in Pañcāgni with the arms held aloft; standing on one leg or standing on the head are some of these exercises. Rāja Yoga aims at arousing Prajñā by control of the senses.
