Yoga Philosophy

Although many of us like to imagine we know what yoga is, our mind usually comes directly to the wrong aspect of yoga when we think of it instinctively. ​ This is due to the western media and how we illustrate it to be online, as just stretching or spiritually being here with the practice. But yoga is much more than just physical postures, which is only a part of it. ​ Yoga is not a tool to be in shape or to become more flexible or more in tune with yourself. It is beyond all these definitions. Because yoga at its core is a method of realizing oneness with reality. ​ It is beyond the ego and beyond our minds. It is our true nature as human beings. It is falling into this divine reality, reducing the path between the heart and the brain. ​ In a sense, Yoga = Union. ​ “Yoga is merely the practice of restraining the mind from taking any sort of form.” — Patanjali, an ancient Hindu philosopher. ​ The thing is that there is more than just one way seeing & doing this. The physical practice yet is just one of these many ways to grasp the whole picture. As Patanjali calls, there are eight limbs of yoga. ​ These eight modes can all be done separately, but usually, are meant to be done together to attain moksha (emancipation). ​ To come into this space of truth beyond the mind, recognizing your true nature. ​ Do you want to dive deeper into Yoga? ​ During those courses, we talk about the Yoga philosophy, the 8 limbs of Ashtanga, according to Pantanjali in the Yoga Sutras. We go deep into the meaning and explanation of each "chapter". ​ The Yoga Sutras are estimated to be written 2200 years ago. It is a collecting of 195 aphorisms and is the basis of the philosophical system called Yoga. ​ You will see that Yoga is actually an everyday, each second practice, a full lifestyle, on and off the mat, well designed for Self-Realization and Liberation. ​ n.b: Even if it is a range of morality and ethics, Yoga is a super science back to Self, not a dogmatic religion. Nobody gets punished for not following the path.
