| The eight limbs of yoga
To many, yoga means postures – or physical positions of the body, but it is much, much more. The word itself implies a linking or blending or harmony – of what with what? Well, harmony within the individual and also with the environment. Harmony and balance between all the systems of the body. Body/mind harmony where the person develops an awareness of the environment within the body and what its needs are – and also aware of one’s mental state. Staying focused on the task at hand and in the present moment. |
