Chapter I


I.1 Salutations to the one who taught the vidya (knowledge) of hatha yoga, which is a ladder for those who would like to ascend to the lofty raja yoga.

2 After saluting his lord and guru, Svatmarama yogi presents the vidya (knowledge) of hatha yoga only for the purpose of attaining raja yoga.
