Is your asana practice just a workout, or is it a gateway to something more? In this episode, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander recontextualizes the physical postures of yoga, revealing how Asana serves as a vital foundation for the entire Eight-Limbed path, cultivating the steadiness, awareness, and resilience needed for spiritual growth. • Discover why Asana is a crucial "entry point" and "gateway" to the deeper, philosophical teachings of yoga. • Learn how the principle of "steadiness and ease" (Sthira Sukham) in each posture teaches us to navigate life's challenges with grace. • Uncover how Asana is a powerful tool for self-inquiry, revealing patterns in the mind and creating space for introspection. • Explore the historical evolution of the physical practice and how understanding its roots deepens our modern application. • Understand how a mindful Asana practice naturally inspires students to explore the more subtle limbs of meditation and ethics.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/engaging-with-the-eight-limbs-of-yoga--6741852/support.Stay awake and vibrant with Strong Coffee Company.
