In this episode Rebecca discusses the second limb of yoga, the Niyamas. The Niyamas include five different components, and serve as what one should incorporate into their life if following the eight fold yogic path. 

In this episode, I talk about the other eight limbs of yoga and more specifically utilizing Themes in yoga classes. If you're a student, hopefully, this will enhance your practice and if you're a new yoga teacher I highly recommend picking up the book Theme Weaver to enhance your teaching skills.

Build upon last week's philosophical, yogic foundation as you explore the second limb of the Eight-Limbed Path, (called the Niyamas), comprised of five moral observances. Consider the principles of cleanliness, contentedness, personal discipline, self-study, and devotion to something greater than yourself, and then examine these values in your own life. Feel free to grab a piece of paper and a pen to jot down your notes or reflections, or simply sit back to process this information internally, and let's dig in. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/home-practice-with-halle/support

Yoga is a practice of mind and body-- but at the heart of it all, the system of yoga is intended to provide a solid philosophical, ethical foundation upon which to build your life. In other words, it is not enough to alleviate suffering in your own life, if your thoughts, words, or actions “off the mat” cause suffering in the lives of others. In this episode, learn more about the yoga "manual" for right living, called the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the road-map it describes for right living (called the Eight-Limbed Path), and learn more about the first "limb" (the Yamas), comprised of five moral restraints. Consider the moral precepts of non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, right use of energy, and non-hoarding, and then invite a practice of self-study, examining these values in your own life.

Swami Atmavidyananda from the Kriya Yoga Institute joins Rev. O'Brian for an in-depth exploration of the practice of Samadhi, or Superconscious Meditation. Samadhi is the culmination of Patanjali's Eight Limbed Path and the beginning of a life of liberation and unconditional joy. It is for every person who would walk the path of enlightened living.

Ashtanga Yoga, or the Eight-Limbed Path, offers eight essential steps for spiritual realization and fulfilled living. This path is identified in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, the classic text for meditation and spiritual practice. Author and Yoga Philosophy teacher Nicolai Bachman joins Rev. O'Brian for a profound and practical look at how living these steps each day can positively transform our lives. Discover how these steps work from the inside out and the outside in to purify our hearts, minds, bodies, and our relationships in order to awaken our deepest wisdom.
