The 8 Limbs of Yoga



Yoga is one of the six orthodox systems of Indian philosophy.  It was collated, co-ordinated and systematized by Pantanjali in his classical work, the Yoga Sutras, sometime between 200 B.C. and 200 A.D.  Pantanjali enumerated the means for the quest of the soul as the eight limbs or stages of Yoga.  The 8 in Hot 8 Yoga represents Patanjali's 8 yoga sutras:  A precise set of doctrines and principles that create the foundation for living a Yogic life.
1.  Yama-strong will power for restraint
2.  Niyama-strong willpower for observance and application of truth
3.  Asana-physical and mental exercise including postures
4.  Pranayama-transformation of individual energy, physiological, and psychological, into cosmic energy.
5.  Pratyahara-displacement and sublimation of psychic energy
6.  Dharana-fixation of mind on various places, internal or external
7.  Dhyana-sublimation of Mind into Being
8.  Samadhi-evolution of consciousness from individuality to universality.

Yama and Niyama control the yogi's passions and emotions and keep him in harmony with his fellow man. Asanas keep the body healthy and strong and in harmony with nature.  When the yogi becomes free of body consciousness it is a fit vehicle for the soul. By continually practicing at Hot 8 Yoga, we hope that you will be able to conquer your body and attain the self image that you had always imagined.  The next two stages, Pranayama and Pratyahara, teach the yogi to regulate the breath and thereby control the mind.  This helps to free the senses from the objects of desire.  Finally, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi take the yogi into the innermost recesses of his soul.  The last three stages keep the yogi in harmony with himself.
