The Eight Fold Path/Eight Limbs of Yoga


Live life on a need-to-know basis,
abandoning regret about the past or concern for the future.
All suffering results from resistance to the vicissitudes of life.
Salvation comes from surrendering to everything exactly as it is.

The Yoga eight fold path consists of the following:

  1. Yama - Rules of Social Conduct
  2. Niyama - Rules of Personal Behavior
  3. Asana - Physical Postures
  4. Pranayama - Control of the vital energy through breathing
  5. Pratyahara - Control of the Senses
  6. Dharana - Control of the Mind
  7. Dhyana - Meditation
  8. Samadhi - Absorption
