Dated back a few centuries, they are still studied today to understand the therapeutic aspect of Hatha Yoga. The Hathayoga practices described in Gheranda Samhita are known as Ghatayoga, which describes the human body as a clay pot and the practices of Hathayoga as the means by which one molds the clay, seals the cracks in the wet clay and solidifies the pot through the fire of one's own disciplined practice. Topics include:

Introduction to Gheranda Samhita
Seven step of Ghatayoga
Benefits of Ghatayoga
Purification techniques
