PataƱjali's Ashtanga Yoga ā€“ The Eightfold Path to Liberation

Experience yoga as a complete spiritual science. Based on PataƱjali's Yoga SÅ«tras, this course at Yoga-Samskruthi unfolds the eight limbs of yoga ā€” from Yama and Niyama to Dhyāna and Samādhi. Students learn posture, breath, discipline, and meditation as a progressive journey from self-control to self-realization. Integrating ethical living, mindfulness, and inner transformation, this path leads beyond fitness ā€” toward freedom (Kaivalya).

Deep Dive into the Curriculum

This course presents yoga in its original, complete form ā€“ not merely as physical exercise but as a comprehensive system for spiritual evolution articulated in PataƱjali's Yoga Sutras (compiled around 400 CE).

The Eight Limbs:

Float Image

1. Yama (Ethical Restraints): Non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, continence, non-possessiveness ā€“ the social and moral foundation

Float Image

2. Niyama (Personal Observances): Purity, contentment, discipline, self-study, surrender to the divine ā€“ internal cultivation

Float Image

3. Asana (Posture): Physical positions that create steadiness and comfort, preparing the body for meditation

Float Image

4. Pranayama (Breath Control): Techniques to regulate life force (prana) through conscious breathing

Float Image

5. Pratyahara (Sense Withdrawal): Learning to direct attention inward, away from external stimuli

Float Image

6. Dharana (Concentration): Focusing the mind on a single point or object

Float Image

7. Dhyana (Meditation): Sustained, uninterrupted flow of awareness

Float Image

8. Samadhi (Absorption): The ultimate union of consciousness with its object, leading to Kaivalya (liberation)

Float Image

Integration: The course emphasizes how these eight limbs work synergistically, creating a progressive path from ethical living to transcendent awareness.

Float Image

Beyond Fitness: While physical benefits are acknowledged, the primary focus is spiritualā€”understanding yoga as technology for freedom from suffering and realization of true self.

Float Image

Comprehensive Approach: Students don't just learn techniques but understand the philosophy behind them, studying the Yoga Sutras, commentaries, and related texts that explain the nature of mind, consciousness, and spiritual transformation.
