This work Joga Pradipika by Jayatarama(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joga_Prad%C4%ABpik%C4%81 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joga_Prad%C4%ABpik%C4%81) is different from the well known Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Svatmarama(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatha_Yoga_Pradipika https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatha_Yoga_Pradipika)
Modern day "Hatha Yoga" traces its origin to the "Natha Yogis"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nath https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nath). It is also quite interesting to note that "Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga" had nothing to do with the above. Due to historical reasons, a subset of the Asanas (with his own modifications) were popularized by T. Krishnamacharya who also used the text "Patanjali Yoga Sutras" as a larger framework within which to seat his practice. This was then exported to the West by his students which has now come to be known as the de-facto Yoga.
