Description
Yama | Niyama | Asana | Pranayama | Pratyahara | Dharana | Dhyana | Samadhi
Asta-anga (Ashtanga) Yoga, also translated as the Eightfold Path of Yoga as defined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, this is the core of classical yoga as taught by BKS Iyengar. The term Ashtanga does not refer to any particular sequence or series of poses. Ashtanga refers to all eight limbs of Yoga: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. See the links above for more details on each.
"The first five aspects of yoga are individual efforts for the evolution of consciousness, while dharana, dhyani and samadhi are the universal manifestation or the natural states of yoga." BKS Iyengar.
What is taught in most yoga classes, the physical postures or "asanas", is but one of the eight components of yoga. For many, this is all they study and care to know about yoga. The asanas provide a rich range of physical work to help tone the body's vital functions and focus the mind inward, on the breath, on the pose, on the self.
