Day 2: The 8 limbs consist of 8 branches. One wants to work on all of them at once, and when you start to work on one, you start to work on another naturally, so it is very organic. The limbs are: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. The 8 limbs are a path to live by, not to strive for perfection, but to use as a tool and a framework on your path to enlightenment or self-realization. If you missed yesterdays post (Day 1), here it is. There is so much more to yoga than the physical.
