In the western world many of us refer to the yoga practice as ‘doing’ yoga or ‘going to yoga’, but Yoga is more than physical exercise. It is a practice that transcends physicality and it is very personal and subjective. Regardless of what yoga is to you, it is important to note that there is a philosophical aspect to yoga that allows us to understand the practice at a deeper level.
For those who may not be familiar with yoga philosophy, we are going to start slow with one of the first things you learn during teacher training: the Eight Limbs of Yoga. Also known as Patanjali’s guidelines for self-discipline and ethical conduct. By learning and following these guidelines, we not only get to know ourselves better, but they help us move forward on our spiritual path and evolve our yoga practice!
The Eight Limbs of Yoga:
So, Next time you are ready to unroll your Shakti Warrior eco-friendly yoga mat, (and we recommend trying the Chakra Pro Yoga Mat so you can visualize aligning your energetic body while you are also aligning the physical), take a moment to pause and think about these guidelines and notice how your practice, and your life, change for the better and evolve to new levels of undeniable awareness, understanding, compassion and love.
