Ashtanga Yoga teacher Maria Boox talks about the Eight-Fold path of Yoga as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. She says in this video that people who practise yoga should know about the Eight Limbs of yoga to make their practice complete..
The teacher should, over time, provide clarity integrate into the student basic principles such as being truthful to oneself and others, cleanliness, contentment, compassion, cleansing, the study of the old scriptures of yoga, and the humility to acknowledge a power greater than us..
Brahmacharya, for instance, doesn’t mean refraining from sexual activity, but being balanced in life, learning how to consume one’s energy, and knowing the difference between need and greed..
Maria also speaks of her favourite chapters of the Yoga Sutras about dealing with obstacles, and how in daily life we come across all kinds of people. We should be undisturbed by others, for so much of our energy is focused on what others do, think, and say that we put more energy into others’ lives than into our own..
If we could do that, Maria says that the world would be so very different..

Guided meditation into the concept and experience of the 8 limbs of Yoga. Moving through yamas and niyamas, we find our asana (our seat) our pranayama (our breath) and pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses) we begin to make space for the last 3 limbs:
Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (Meditation), and Samadhi (the indescribable state).
Which I don’t like to spend much time talking about, but holding space to experience. So that we might not get so stuck in our heads, I continue on with Voice, Sound, and Mantra..

In this video Michaël makes a comprehensive explanation about the Eight Limbs of Yoga to get a better understanding about Raja Yoga practice and how to implement it in daily life..
An Overview of the Eight Limbs of Yoga:
1 The Yamas are rules of moral code and include ahimsa (non-violence or non-harming), satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing), bramacharya (sexual restraint), and aparigraha (non-possessiveness)..
2 The Niyamas are rules of personal behavior including saucha (purity), santosha (contentment), tapas (discipline or austerity), svadhyaya (spiritual studies), and Ishvara Pranidhana (constant devotion to God)..
3 Asana refers to yoga postures but in Patanjali’s initial practice, it referred to mastering the body to sit still for meditation. The practice of yoga asanas came about eight centuries later, which helped disciples ready their bodies for meditation..
4 Pranayama are yoga breathing techniques designed to control prana or vital life force..
5 Pratyahara means withdrawal of the senses..
6 Dharana refers to concentration..
7 Dhyana is the practice of meditation..
8 Samadhi means absorption/ merging with the divine and is a state of super consciousness.
