| Hello,
I am most interested in the spiritual aspect of yoga. Is Hatha yoga
considered to be one of the more spiritual types of yoga. If not,
which type or types are? Thank you.

Hatha yoga is a complete yoga system. Its practitioners tend to put most
effort on the physical parts, but it's all there. Hatha yoga consists of
Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.
This is the eightfold path of yoga, and it is the same in Hatha yoga and
Raja yoga.

You may want to search through your local yellow pages and see if there
are any Vedanta centers, Yoga studios or Buddhist meditation groups,
around town and check them out. See what resonates with you. Be
careful of cults. Everyone has a different idea of spirituality.

Howdy Arthur!
There are basically 4 different disciplines in yoga:
Hatha,
Raja,
Bhakti and
Jnana (Gyana.)
I would suggest that you investigate each one in order to decide for
yourself which one (or combination) best suits YOUR DEFINITION of
"spirituality."
