'''Hatha yoga ''' <ref name="Hatha yoga"/> (Sanskrit haṭhayoga, IPA: [ɦəʈʰəˈjoːɡə]), also called Haṭhavidyā , is a branch of yoga. The word haṭha (lit. "force") denotes a system of physical techniques supplementary to a broad conception of yoga.
Hatha yoga is associated with the Dashanami Sampradaya and the mystical figure of Dattatreya.
