By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Yoga has been around for more than 5,000 years. It was originally written in Sanskrit, and the first four aphorisms of Patanjali define the nature of yoga as a state of mental tranquility and spiritual freedom.

#2 The word God is associated with love or the higher self in yoga. It is a lifelong practice that requires study and dedication. As in yoga, the more outwardly focused our world becomes, the more popularity yoga gains as a means of balancing a very out-of-balance reality.

#3 The history of yoga in the West is long and complex, but it can be summarized by the following timeline: 1893: Yoga and its teachings first come to the United States through a visit to Chicago by India’s Swami Vivekenanda. 1920: Paramahansa Yogananda establishes the Self Realization Fellowship in the United States. 1959: Swami Vishnudevananda opens a center in Montreal.

#4 The eight limbs of yoga are: yamas and niyamas, the restraints and observances, which are practiced in thought, speech, and action; asana, yoga postures; pranayama, yogic breath control; pratyahara, the withdrawal of the senses; dharana, concentration; dhyana, meditation; and samadhi, the superconscious state.
