Perfecting the 8 Limbs of Yoga: Class 04 - Dharana - Holding One-Pointed Focus of the Mind

Dharana is the Limb of Patanjali’s Ashta Anga Yoga that deals with the nature and control of the mind. It teaches the techniques of mental focus, one-pointedness, clarity and inner vision. The mind is the "king" of the senses and Dharana is the crown of knowledge teaching how to remove unconscious habits, impressions and tendencies.
