Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 We are pleased to present a NEW SERIES of 9 classes on the 8 Limbs of Yoga. One class on each topic and then a Summary Class - How to Implement the Knowledge presented by one of America's leading teachers on Yoga Philosophy - Jeffrey Armstrong. Satyam Eva jayate Only truth is triumphant. - Upanisads Presented by VASA Vedic Academy of Sciences & Arts By 2006, 10% of people in Canada and the USA were practising some form of yoga. That's over 40 million people. Most of those practitioners naturally begin with yogic postures and breathing excericises or Asana and Pranayama. Anyone who has been introduced to yoga soon learns that Asanas (postures) and Pranayama (breathing) are but two of it's practices. Those two are actually part of the 8 subjects that are known as "Ashta Anga" or the 8 Limbs of Yoga. One of the most famous books from India: "The Yoga Sutras" by Patanjali describes all these limbs in great detail. As fellow seekers of spiritual empowerment, we hope you will make the time to hear this series. It will lead you to the path of freedom walked by all the great sages and yogis who came before us. These rare classes will reveal powerful insights, inspire profound meditations and create a background of philosophical understanding to support your yogic practice and search for truth. Under normal circumstances you would have to spend many years to acquire the knowledge and vision these next classes will reveal. S.

Summary Class - How to Implement the Knowledge in Our Daily Lives _____ Sample: Pratyahara means both "withdrawal of" and "control of" the senses: It is the stage of yoga where the senses are withdrawn from their outer attachments in order to develop greater awareness of our consciousness. When this stage is reached, the seeker goes through a searching self examination. Sensory control and purification that are not only essential in yogic practice but form the basis of the control of addictive behaviors, the healing and full functioning of one's body and the highest level of athletic and professional skill. 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. Looking for earth-friendly autos?
