Yoga 8! A New Season

This new season is all about the 8 limbs of Yoga. Sherry & Theresa, both longtime practitioners & teachers, take listeners on a journey beyond asana (physical poses), but not excluding it.

There will be episodes that are designed around specific limbs and others that will reveal how yoga shows up in our lives off the mat in very real and daily ways.

This first episode begins with statistics gathered from the Yoga Industry globally and in the United States and moves into a general overview of the 8 limbs.

Of course, the conversation take its organic twists & turns, as the anecdotes fly!

The 8 Limbs:

1. Yamas (Restraints)

Ahimsa – Non Violence

Satya – Truthfulness

Asteya – Non Stealing

Bramacharya – Wise use of energy, self-control (including sexual energy)

Aparigraha – Non Hoarding, non possessiveness

2. Niyamas (Observances)

Saucha – Purity, clearness of mind, speech & body

Santosha – Contentment, acceptance of things as they are

Tapas – Perserverance, discipline, patience

Svadhyaya – Self-study

Ishvarapranidhana – Devotion, dedication to the ideal of pure awareness

3. Asana – physical poses of yoga

4. Pranayama – breath control, breath practices

5. Pratyahara – withdrawal of the senses

6. Dharana – single point of concentration

7. Dhyana – meditation

8. Samadhi – State of ecstasy or bliss
