"The purpose of yoga is not to become more flexible, although flexibility is a benefit of the real work. The true purpose of yoga is to see the truth of who and what you are through the controlled and intentional destruction of the false self. ~Tina L.
What are the 8 limb's of yoga?
Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga
- Yama – Relational postures
- Niyama-Behavioral postures/Code of being
- Asana-Physical postures
- Pranayama- Energy control through the breath
- Pratyahara-Sense withdrawal
- Dharana-Concentration
- Dhyana-Meditation/stream consciousness
- Samadhi-Absorption/oneness
Patanjali's Eight-Fold Path is an ancient system for optimal living, incorporating and interweaving each limb into a way of life. Although each limb is powerful in itself, the potency is exponentially increased when they are intertwined. When skillfully applied, the practitioner has the potential for limitless transformation.

from time-bound consciousness
to the timeless state of being."
