Yoga is so much more than the poses we strike on our mats — it’s a complete path to inner peace. Ancient sages gave us Ashtanga, the 8 limbs of yoga, as a roadmap:
1️⃣ Yama — how we treat others (truth, non-violence)
2️⃣ Niyama — how we treat ourselves (discipline, contentment)
3️⃣ Asana — the physical postures
4️⃣ Pranayama — control of the breath
5️⃣ Pratyahara — withdrawal of the senses
6️⃣ Dharana — concentration
7️⃣ Dhyana — meditation
8️⃣ Samadhi — pure bliss & union
This International Yoga, we practiced just one limb together — but every breath brought us closer to all eight. ✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning. Here’s to carrying that stillness with you long after the mat rolls up. 🙏
