Being modern-minded, you also must know that it was not the exploitation and slavery, Guru never creates a differentiation, no matter if the aspirant belongs to a royal or farmer background, for him all are equal, and all must have to go through the test, and therefore only the study of yoga (hatha yoga) used to proceed.

To be fair with you, the Yoga ( hatha yoga) subject sometimes drives the aspirant crazy and thereafter it creates confusion, illusion and myth. The reason is when an aspirant is not confident and thus does not understand the subject and instructions.In a nutshell, many times in our general life we miss-understand the Bravery and fragile ego, which leads to superior-inferior complexity in many of us, both have differences, when the bravery.
The aspirant will have to begin simultaneously, with self-commitment, complete dedication to the learning, (hatha yoga) understanding, and thereafter priority to achieve the goals by following the instructions from the competent Guru/Professor.
Hatha yoga is a branch of Yoga, one of the six schools of Hinduism. The word haṭha literally means "force" and thus alludes to a system of physical techniques.:770:527 In India hatha yoga is associated in popular tradition with the 'Yogis' of the Natha Sampradaya through its mythical founder Matsyendranath. Matsyendranath, also known as Minanath or Minapa in Tibet, is celebrated as a saint in both Buddhist and Hindu tantric and hatha yoga schools. However, James Mallinson associates hatha yoga with the Dashanami Sampradaya and the mystical figure of Dattatreya. According to the Dattatreya Yoga Śastra, there are two forms of hatha yoga: one practiced by Yajñavalkya consisting of the eight limbs of ashtanga yoga and another practiced by Kapila consisting of eight mudras. Currently, the oldest dated text to describe hatha yoga, the Amṛtasiddhi, comes from a tantric Buddhist milieu. The oldest texts to use the actual verbiage of hatha are also Vajrayana Buddhist. In the 20th century, hatha yoga, particularly asanas (the physical postures), became popular throughout the world as a form of physical exercise, and is now colloquially termed simply as "yoga."
The Hathapradīpikạ, also called Hatha Yoga Pradipika, is an important and one of the most influential texts of the Hatha yoga.[7] It was compiled by Svātmārāma in the 15th century CE from earlier hatha yoga texts.[6]:772 These earlier texts were of Vedanta or non-dual Shaiva orientation.[8] From both, the Hathapradīpikạ̄ borrowed non-duality (advaita) philosophies. According to James Mallinson, this reliance on non-dualism helped Hatha Yoga thrive in the medieval period as non-dualism became the "dominant soteriological method in scholarly religious discourse in India".[8]
Modern hatha yoga, of the type seen in the West, has been greatly influenced by the school of Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, who taught from 1924 until his death in 1989. Among his students prominent in popularizing yoga in the West were K. Pattabhi Jois famous for popularizing the vigorous Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga style, B. K. S. Iyengar who emphasized alignment and the use of props, Indra Devi and Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar.[26]
Early hatha yoga was used to prevent the dripping of bindu (semen) from the heads of men.[6]:770 The two early hatha yoga techniques were to stand on one's head (viparītakaranī) or make breath flow into the center channel which forces bindu up.[6]:770
However, in later hatha yoga, the Kaula visualization of Kuṇḍalini rising through a system of chakras is overlaid onto the earlier bindu-oriented system.[6]:770, 774 The aim was to access amṛta (the nectar of immortality) situated in the head, which subsequently floods the body.[6]:770, 774 This goal is in contradiction with the early hatha yoga goal of preserving bindu.[6]:770, 774
I read this book a few years ago. It was published in 2010 and is revolutionary in terms of how we look at hatha yoga as modern day persons practicing in the post-modern world. It will provoke questions around our relationship to traditions, cultures and lineages and how much importance we give to them.
Gheranda Samhita is a step by step detailed manual of yoga taught by sage Gheranda to student Chanda.[14] Unlike other hatha yoga texts, the Gheranda Samhita speaks of a sevenfold yoga:[15][16] 2ff7e9595c
