Ashtanga Yoga | The 8 Limbs of Yoga | Malayalam

Most of us know "Asana" (the physical poses), but that is actually only one-eighth of the real practice. In this video, we explore the 8 Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga as described in Patanjali's ancient Yoga Sutras. Using the analogy of a tree 🌳, we break down the complete roadmap for mastering your mind—from the ethical roots (Yama) all the way to the fruit of enlightenment (Samadhi). THE 8 LIMBS AT A GLANCE: Yama: How we treat others (Non-violence, Truth, etc.) Niyama: How we treat ourselves (Cleanliness, Contentment, etc.) Asana: Physical postures to prepare the body. Pranayama: Breath control to regulate energy. Pratyahara: Tuning out distractions. Dharana: Laser-like focus. Dhyana: The flow of meditation. Samadhi: Complete absorption and peace.
