About the Book
This book introduces, edits, and translates two of the earliest texts in the hathayoga tradition: the Amrtasiddhi and the Amrtasiddhimula (the latter surviving only in Tibetan translation). Drawing on a bilingual manuscript, an exceptionally rare find, the authors argue that the origins of hathayoga are rooted in an eclectic tantric Buddhist environment, likely active in the second half of the 11th century CE. The texts provide key teachings on the yogic body, psycho-physical practices focused on manipulating bindu, the different types of practitioners, and much more. These foundational teachings later became highly influential in the development of the yoga tradition.
