Welcome to the beginning of a nine-part series exploring the Eight Limbs of Yoga as outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. This introductory episode provides a clear overview of all eight limbs, Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi, and explains how these practices support mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, you will learn what the Eight Limbs of Yoga are, how ethical, physical, and meditative practices work together, and why yoga is a holistic path for self-awareness, inner peace, and conscious living.
