What is Yoga?

Yoga comes from a Sanskrit word which translates to ‘Concentration on attaining the changes desired in our lives’. Yoga looks to bring our mind, body, and spirit into harmony. Our modern-day view of yoga guides us on one part of the study of Yoga.


The Philosophy of Yoga focuses on 8 limbs:

 

  1. Yamas (Ethical & Moral Ideal)
  2. Niyamas (Spiritual & Self-discipline Ideals)
  3. Asana (Physical Practices)
  4. Pranayama (Breath work – our Life Force)
  5. Pratyahara (Withdrawal of senses / Ignoring Distractions)
  6. Dharana (Concentration / Focused Thoughts)
  7. Dhyana (Meditation)
  8. Samadhi (Liberation / Union with a Divine)
