​Yoga: The path to enlightenment. Literally translated as “union” or “to yoke”, a joining of the mind and body, finding your connection with the divine, ultimately leading to liberation.

There are four main paths of Yoga:
Karma Yoga: Yoga of Action
Bhakti Yoga: Yoga of Devotion
Jnana Yoga: Yoga of Knowledge
Raja Yoga: Yoga of Mental & Physical Control

Practicing the physical postures, or asana, prepares the body to sit in meditation. The path of self-awareness begins with the postures, yet moving into pure consciousness is much, much more.

The Eight Limbs of Classical (Raja) Yoga (as laid out in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra):

1 ) Yama – Regulations – Five Rules of Social Conduct
  • Ahimsa: non-harming, compassion
  • Satya: truthfulness
  • Asteya: non-stealing
  • Brahmacarya: self-control, managing energy, chastity
  • Aparigraha: non-possessive, non-hoarding
​
2 ) Niyama – Observances or Regular Habits
  • Saucha: purity, cleanliness, self-care
  • Samtosa: contentment
  • Tapas: focused discipline, dedicated practice
  • Svadhyaya: self-study
  • Isvara Pranidhana: ritual act of devotion, surrender to a higher power

3 ) Asana – Steady Position, Relaxed Posture

4 ) Pranayama – Breath Awareness and Control

5 ) Pratyahara – Withdrawal of the Senses, Internal Focus

6 ) Dharana – Concentration, One Pointed Attention

7 ) Dhyana – Meditation

8 ) Samadhi – Enlightenment

The limbs sequence together as a pathway to enlightenment, nirvana, or bliss.
