Classical yoga philosophy centres on eight limbs—a roadmap from daily conduct to deep meditation.

• Yama — external disciplines that govern how we interact with others
• Niyama — habits such as self-study (svadhyaya) and surrender to a higher purpose
• Asana — yoga poses designed to prepare the body for seated meditation
• Pranayama — breath control techniques that regulate energy flow
• Pratyahara — withdrawal of the senses from external distractions
• Dharana — concentrated focus as preparation for meditation
• Dhyana — continuous meditative absorption on the chosen focus
• Samadhi — a state of oneness transcending the sense of separate self

The eightfold path transforms yoga from a series of poses into a comprehensive philosophy for balanced living.
