Yoga Philosophy is a wisdom system refined over thousands of years. From the eight-limbed path of the Yoga Sutras to the Karma Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita, these ancient texts provide modern practitioners with profound frameworks for understanding practice, understanding themselves, and understanding life. Yoga philosophy is not empty theory but living wisdom that can be practised in everyday life.
Articles here connect yoga philosophy concepts with modern life, sharing core teachings like the Yamas (external restraints) and Niyamas (internal observances) in accessible ways. When you begin to understand the philosophical foundations behind asana practice, your practice gains entirely new depth and meaning.
