The Eightfold Path of Yoga

Yoga offers more than just a better body - it can also give you a better life, and possibly enlightenment. That's what the Eightfold Path of Yoga is about. Also known as the Eight Limbs of Yoga, these guidelines and practices - Asanas are just one aspect - are real tools that will open your world to new possibilities.
Patanjali's Eightfold Path
Here is a basic description of the Eightfold Path, explained clearly in non-esoteric language.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are interpreted here, in 17 different languages! There's also a study group, a library, and a link to YSP Club Yahoo!
Eightfold Path: Breath
If you practice Yoga Asanas, you probably also have some familiarity with breath, or Pranayama. Both are part of the Eightfold path. This article from FireHeart magazine focuses on breath.
Dharana (Fixation of Attention)
Before you can meditate, you have to know how to concentrate. That is what this limb of the Eightfold Path - and this page - is all about.
