Course Description
Eight Limbs of Yoga:
Blossom Two explores the Eight Limbs of Yoga by Patanjali which is considered the “Father of Yoga”. The Eightfold path is known as Ashtanga, which means "Eight Limbs". These eight steps act as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They serve as a way for moral and ethical conduct and self-discipline to help you understand your inner and outer worlds. The Eight Limbs direct attention toward one's health to help you to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of your nature with love and light. Yoga means union, to unite, and union with the supreme being. The Eight Limbs of Yoga is a classical philosophy that offers a deeper foundation for all yoga practice plus additional and different paths to achieve the unity of your union. The same foundation of Pranayama, Relaxation, Asanas, Lifestyle, and Meditation (PRALM) that we developed from the previous Blossom 1 will apply through this course at an increased ratio of Pranayama and Ashtanga poses. The 8 Limbs of Yoga is experienced through these classes:
