Learning the 8 Limbs of Yoga, as outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, provides practitioners with a holistic framework for spiritual growth, ethical living, and self-discipline, extending far beyond physical postures. Jeffrey Armstrong brilliantly illuminates each of the 8 limbs, fostering inner harmony, mental clarity, and a deeper connection to one's higher purpose, making yoga a transformative life practice rather than merely a physical exercise.

The central limb of the 8 limbed Ashtanga Yoga is Dhyana, which means meditation. In China the word was pronounced CHAN, and in Japan it became ZEN. There are many kinds of meditations, each leading the practitioner to specific goals, powers and states of being. This class contains "The Secret" of Yoga.
