Hello Yogis, as promised below is a summary of the Yoga Sutra we studied last term.
If you are joining the class next term for the first time I may have asked you to take a look at this. Just to give you a little back ground, Patanjali, many, many years ago, brought together and systemized the many strands of yoga which were around at the time. He (she, they?) condensed them into aphorisms, which collectively are know as Patanjali Yoga Stutra. Below, on the left you can see is one the 29th aphorism from the second chapter of this work (hence Y.S 11.29) which are the eight limbs of yoga. Last term we looked at the first Limb, Yama (Y.S 11.30) which I have broken down with a very simple translation. Last term we dissected this a little more deeply. Next term we will be looking at the next limb of yoga, Niyama. As well as practicing asana (the movement element of a yoga practice) and Pranayama (the breathing practices). See you next term Namaste, Elise
