Hatha yoga deals mostly with body and breathing exercises which prepare one to become aware of his internal states. Hatha yoga exercises are designed in such a way that the body becomes an instrument for treading the path of higher life. Hatha Yoga comprises of the first four steps of Raja Yoga or Ashtang yoga. Yamas and Niyamas are the ten commitment of yoga. The third step in Raja Yoga is Asana or posture. Specific postures have got their own therapeutic effects. The fourth step of Raja Yoga is Pranayama or control of Prana, the vital energy that sustains body and mind. Pranayama is also called the science of breathing. A continuous regulation of the breathing rhythm leads to a calm mind. In addition, the exercises of Pranayama purify and strengthen the nervous system. read less

A continuous regulation of the breathing rhythm leads to a calm mind. In addition, the exercises of Pranayama purify and strengthen the nervous system. One has to practice and perfect Asanas and Pranayamas to scale the higher rungs of yoga. Hatha yoga is therefore necessary to ensure physical health and harmony. A manual of Hatha Yoga would have to be consulted for precautionary measures to be observed and personal instructions from a competent teacher are necessary in the more advanced postures. When one starts practicing postures accurately he becomes more aware of variations in the flow of the breath, and then teacher can begin to give him various techniques of breathing exercises, or Pranayama. So initially one should learn Asanas and Pranayama from a good teacher and then one can practice independently. read less

Yes. Without proper awareness or guidance you may submit yourself to a senseless slue of awkward body positions that could be considered self-torture. Now, you may be somewhat masochistic (as most yogis are) and enjoy inflicting pain upon yourself. Having insights like this lead to brief awakening moments...

Yes. Without proper awareness or guidance you may submit yourself to a senseless slue of awkward body positions that could be considered self-torture. Now, you may be somewhat masochistic (as most yogis are) and enjoy inflicting pain upon yourself. Having insights like this lead to brief awakening moments that change your perception. Then comes a little awareness of likes and dislikes. Question those and you are on your way to overcoming the pitfalls of Hatha yoga such as physical injury from not having understanding of how your body works or maybe your personality grows more robust by a type of ego gratification from thinking you are going to get a reward from the practice or that it makes you more spiritual or better in some way read less

Or, I wonder, do you mean 'backfire' as in the sense of some sort of punishment like some other religious views? As if you were to be in virabadhrasana but actually were thinking about the shape of the yoga pants of the person next to you and then BOM! The wrath of shiva crashes down upon you with fire and brimstone; thunder and lightning? Look, all disciplines of yoga are mental. Designed by the mind, for the mind to go beyond the mind. The mind is a mystery and so is what observes it. Establish yourself as that observer in all poses whether on a yoga mat or on the street and wherever you go you will be yoking yourself into the fire. read less
