2100 Asanas Poses Yoga
The Yoga Sutras, also known as The Eight Limbs (Ashtanga) of Raja (King) Yoga, was the first fully
developed and recorded system of yoga. Created by Patanjali around 400 CE, this system influences
much of the yoga that is practiced today.
Although most of the sutras were originally focused on
mindfulness, the yoga practiced in the West today seems to focus more on the body. Somewhere along
the way, it seems, we began to practice the movement of yoga in isolation from its original
philosophies.
For those interested in truly integrating the mindfulness of yoga with its movement, I recommend that
you read The Eight Limbs of Yoga in its entirety and digest it very slowly.
Take time to reflect on it
piece by piece so you can implement it into both your practice and your daily life. Wisdom is in the
doing. The following, however, is a useful summary of The Eight Limbs of Yoga, which will
introduce you to the basic concepts of the philosophy.
A deep understanding of yoga philosophy and
history will greatly enhance the benefits of your practice and put you on the path to mindfulness and
self-realization.
