Yoga is often misunderstood to only mean asanas, and this is as far from the truth as can be! An asana’s primary purpose is to keep your body in a meditative state for an extended period of time. The more you practice asanas, the more agile and flexible your body becomes. Thus, eventually, it helps you sit in a meditative posture for longer, and you start experiencing yourself and the object of meditation becoming one. This progression of Yoga and asana as a stepping stone has been explained in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

According to Muni Patanjali, there are eight prominent steps on the path of Yoga:

1)Yama (Social Discipline)
2) Niyama (Self Discipline)
3) Asana (Physical Postures)
4) Pranayama (Breathing Practices)
5) Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the senses)
6) Dharana (Concentration)
7) Dhyana (One Pointed Concentration/Meditation
8) Samadhi (Complete Integration / Self Actualisation)

These 8 steps form the very basis of Yoga and their aim is to enable humans to harness ourselves as instruments, maximise our potential and determine who we truly are. Therefore, understanding the vast theoretical Yogic literature and applying its practices as a lifestyle is essential to unlocking the science of the self!
