Episode Synopsis

The Eight Limbs aren't a checklist; they're an interconnected web. In this episode, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander reveals how each limb supports and enhances the others, creating a seamless journey from ethical living to meditative bliss. Discover why you can't truly practice one without the others. • Understand the "metaphysical fabric" of the Eight Limbs and how physical, mental, and spiritual practices are woven together. • Learn how the ethics of Yama and Niyama directly infuse your physical Asana practice with greater purpose and compassion. • Discover the synergy between Asana, Pranayama, and Pratyahara, and how they work in concert to prepare you for deep meditation. • See how Dhyana (meditation) acts as the crucial bridge connecting the external practice with the internal journey of self-discovery. • Embrace a holistic view of your practice that transforms it from isolated tasks into a mindful, compassionate, and authentic way of being.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.
