Ashtanga Yog
by Akash Kahar
Patanjali prescribed an eight-limbed process to reach the goal known as Ashtanga Yoga. The eight limbs are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. Yoga's role in helping one become resilient to stress (a part of our modern lifestyle), without harming the body (staying healthy) is gaining new importance.
