Yoga poses 3rd trimester

The question remains: is Malini’s yoga an early sign of hatha-yoga? For me, this Saivite yoga discourse points much more back in time to wisdom-liberation discourses, than it points forward to hatha-yoga. The decisive point is the Tantric subtle body discourse. Saivite six-limb yoga is not, like the later hatha-yoga, about manipulating and releasing physical divine energies of the subtle body, as when the hatha yogi forces Kundalini to ascend through the subtle body. Like the Yoga Sutra, the yoga of the Malini uses the body as an anchor point loaded with symbolic power. Hatha-yoga is about physical work while the Malini is about mental work. The efforts of Saivite Malini yoga are aimed at consciousness and mind, while hatha-yoga is about activating physical divine energies. Hence I see Malini as a Gnostic borderline mystic yoga.

This – Malini’s strong element of Gnosticism; the emphasis on rationality and contemplation; the One as pure consciousness and the mystical realisation of it – leads further to the question of whether this Saivite yoga to a large extent was included and subsumed into Brahmin monotheistic discourse? Were the Saivite ascetic renouncing groups in reality Brahmins (or groups run by Brahmins) merging yoga and Tantra with monotheistic Siva worship286?
