These practices will enliven your body, mind, and spirit with the experience of Yoga.

Ashtanga comes from the combination of two Sanskrit words: Ashta meaning Eight and Anga which means limbs. It has been developed as one of the Yogic Philosophies by the Yoga Gurus. The eight branches start with the observation of basic lifestyles, principles, and ethics that are called as Niyamas or Yamas. These are then followed by the Asanas, Poses and Body posture to make your body flexible and also prepare for the next level. After that, the Pranayama breathing techniques are learned to control the mind and body. Later on, Prathayahanra, the practice of withdrawing the senses to study the inner world and their link to the external world are practiced. The next to this is Dharana meaning concentration to settle the mind for meditation and then preparing the final stage, the Samadhi as the bliss.

Through the first two steps, the mental strength is enhanced by interpreting the qualities of one’s own mind and its limitations. Restlessness ceases to exist at this stage and all the limitations and imperfections of the mind are left behind. Analytical observation and intellectual energy tend to grow and you will start to enjoy internal bliss.
