8 Limbs of Yoga

In Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, the eightfold path is called ashtanga, which literally means "eight limbs" (ashta = eight, anga = limb). Together, the eight limbs offer guidelines for how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They provide a code for moral and ethical conduct and self-discipline; they direct attention toward the spiritual aspects of our nature.
