Eight Limbs of Yoga


Aloha Everyone,
The Eight limbs of yoga comes from the Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra and it is the basis of the yoga philosophy we all should live by. This is a scientific, holistic approach to living healthy physical and spiritual life. 
 1) Yama – self-restraint and universal morality
 2) Niyama – personal observances
 3) Asanas – physical body postures
 4) Pranayama – breathing exercises
 5)  Pratyahara – withdrawl or control of the senses
 6)  Dharana  – concentration
 7)  Dhyana  – meditation
 8)  Samadhi – bliss, union with the supreme consciousness
Namaste — Cathi
