yoga philosophy
Ancient practice's teachings
Yoga philosophy is the system of thought underlying the physical and spiritual practice of yoga, rooted in ancient Indian traditions.
It encompasses concepts like the eight limbs of yoga, the nature of consciousness, and paths toward liberation from suffering.
While yoga in the West often emphasizes postures, yoga philosophy addresses broader questions of mind, self, and reality: She studied yoga philosophy alongside her asana practice.
