Hatha yoga, also called hatha vidyā (हठविद्या), is a kind of yoga focusing on physical and mental strength building exercises and postures described primarily in three texts of Hinduism.

Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Svātmārāma (15th century)
Shiva Samhita, author unknown (1500 C.E or late 17th century)
Gheranda Samhita by Gheranda (late 17th century)
Many scholars also include the preceding Goraksha Samhita authored by Gorakshanath of the 11th century in the above list.[49] Gorakshanath is widely considered to have been responsible for popularizing hatha yoga as we know it today.

Vajrayana Buddhism, founded by the Indian Mahasiddhas has a series of asanas and pranayamas, such as tummo (Sanskrit caṇḍālī)and trul khor which parallel hatha yoga.
