What Is Ashtanga Yoga?

from: Kevin Pederson

In Sanskrit Ashta means eight and Anga means limbs so it can be
termed as the eight limb path and is based on Yoga Philosophy of
Patanjali. As history of yoga is very rich it helps people in
all its manner and this is one of its form which is also known
as Power Yoga. Each of the eight limbs has an important part to
play for a better and healthy living looking ahead to make life
less stressful and happy.



The eight limbs which signify Ashthanga Yoga are



1. Yama - It reflects the moral and ethical grounds of human
behavior



Ahimsa: Non-violence Satya: Truthfulness Asteya: No stealing
Brahmacharya: Celibacy Aparigraha: Non-covetousness or Envy or
possessiveness



2. Niyama - It reflects the disciplines one has to go through
their human life



Shoucha - Purity Santosh - Contentment Tapa - Endurance
Swadhyaya- Self study Eshwar Pranidhan- Dedication towards god



3. Asana: It is the practice of asana for better well-being in
your body and soul



4. Pranayama: Breathing exercises a way to attain control on
your breathing pattern



5. Pratyahara: Withdrawal of the senses, which would mean total
cut off from the outside world and the concentration level
increases in making your mind a haven for all the positive
energy.



6. Dharana: Concentration, something which would help you to
concentrate without any level of distraction.



7. Dhyana: Meditation and concentration on things which are your
main objective but also being done on a wider perspective.



8. Samadhi: Attainment a state of joy and bliss which is based
on your skills of dhyana and realizing the purity of your life
and the importance in life as whole. It can also be stated as
enlightenment.
