The ancient Sage Patanjali was the first to systemize the practices of Ashtanga Yoga. Yoga defined literally means “union”. Through stilling the mind, union with the DIVINE is achieved. Practice of Yoga (or sadhana) purifies the body and mind for the purpose of developing higher concentration. Pure concentration leads to a thoughtless mind and supreme consciousness (samadhi). Pantajali described the path to higher consciousness as having eight parts or “limbs”; hence, the system is called Ashtanga (ashta=eight, anga=limb) Yoga. The eight limbs are listed below. You will learn more about each limb within the Astanga system in our NOTES FROM THE MAT section of the website.
