Yoga is a systematic approach to wellness and health.
Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time, without break and in all earnestness.
Yoga Sutra 1.14
The eight-limbed path of yoga is
- an examination of the self in relation to the world and
- a holistic approach to a balanced life free from suffering.
The eight limbs of yoga are taught in succession, but it’s not always necessary to follow the path step-by-step. In this lesson, you’ll examine each of the limbs as a way to live with intention and gratitude.
