My practice should continue by adding Asana to Asana. I will try to remember their names along with all the peculiar details to do it correctly. Currently, it’s only the standing and finishing sequence… but I will still continue to do the whole Sequence at least twice per week.
Vegan life? I can do the experiment for 10 Days… still I am not convinced to live according to all these principles. I do love coffee and I’ve read a lot of articles about beneficial uses of coffee …. but we’ll see. After ten days… I might change my mind…

The story about Yoga… as I can see now starts from Patanjali.
Patanjali organized a lot of knowledge about Yoga… that I see as the main Limbs of Yoga. Why the number eight?

An interesting introduction the Eight Limbs of Yogic Mediation is given in this video:
I will also start to explore the Yoga Sutra… in the book there are 4 chapters:
- Chapter I – Samadhi Pada – Concentration: It’s spiritual uses
- Chapter II – Sadhana Pada – Concentration: It’s practice
- Chapter III – Vibhooti Pada – The Chapter of Powers
- Chapter IV – Kaivalya Pada – Independence
WOOOW… Sounds interesting 🙂 It would be nice to read it in original lanugage 🙂
Yoga Sūtra
The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali are 196 Indian sutras (aphorisms) on Yoga. It was the most translated ancient Indian text in the medieval era, having been translated into about forty Indian languages and two non-Indian languages: Old Javanese and Arabic.[16] The text fell into obscurity for nearly 700 years from the 12th to 19th century, and made a comeback in late 19th century due to the efforts of Swami Vivekananda and others. It gained prominence again as a comeback classic in the 20th century.[51]
Before the 20th century, history indicates the Indian yoga scene was dominated by other Yoga texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Vasistha and Yoga Yajnavalkya.[52] Scholars consider the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali formulations as one of the foundations of classical Yoga philosophy of Hinduism.[53][54]
