P90X Reviews: A Complete Review on the P90X Workout System

If you’ve explored P90X as a fitness option, or if you’ve already done the program, then you’ve gone through the Yoga X routine during one of the recovery periods or you’ve read or seen that one of the workouts is called Yoga X and is an intense yoga and stretching workout. What you may not have read is that Yoga X is based on Hatha yoga. So why is that important? In order to maximize your workout results, the more that you understand about what you’re doing, the better. With that said, let’s learn a little bit about Hatha yoga.

Hatha yoga is a form of yoga that originated in India in the fifteenth century. It was introduced by a yoga master named Yogi Swatmarama who designed the practice to be a purification of the body before the person practicing yoga went on to attempt to master higher forms of meditation. The name, Hatha, was a combination of the words “Ha” and “Tha” which meant sun and moon. What is different about Hatha yoga is that, while it carries the same values of moral restraint and spiritual practices that other forms of yoga carry, because it was developed to be a part of a purification ritual, it is more demanding than many other forms of yoga.

It makes sense, then, that Tony Horton would base his Yoga X platform off of the practice of Hatha, with its extra emphasis on a demanding physical and mental control After all, if you’ve read any P90X reviews then you know that the P90X itself is based on demanding principles of physical and mental control. Yoga X itself isn’t pure yoga, but it borrows postures, procedures and movements and adapts them to a style that’s suited for insertion into the P90X system. You’ll experience all of the benefits of Hatha yoga’s discipline and control while having Tony Horton to guide you through the process and ensure that you’re using the right parts of a yoga practice to enhance your overall fitness regime.

So get started on P90X, and when the time is right grab your water bottle and your P90X yoga mat and hit the floor for Yoga X. When you do, you’ll know that you’re not slowing your workout development down at all because your yoga workout was derived from the most demanding form of traditional yoga that there is.
