The Living Practice
Yoga: anatomy, philosophy & rooted teachings

The path of yoga has eight limbs of one living practice that grow together.

The Eight Limbs
Limb 1 Guiding Principles Yama Enter Yama → Limb 2 Observances Niyama Enter Niyama → Limb 3 Postures Asana Enter Asana → Limb 4 Breath Pranayama Enter the Breath → Limb 5 Introspect Pratyahara Enter Introspect → Limb 6 Concentration Dharana Enter Dharana → Limb 7 Meditation Dhyana Enter Meditation → Limb 8 Peace Samadhi Enter Peace →

Around the eight limbs sit the pose library and family tree, the muscle diagram, the lineages, sequencing, ayurveda, the stories under the banyan, and a full glossary.

Dana, the practice of giving
If this work has served you and you are able to give, a gift keeps the Living Practice online and holds the door open behind you.
