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

• Yama — principles like non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness (satya), and non-stealing (asteya)
• Niyama — personal observances like cleanliness, contentment, and self-discipline
• Asana — the physical practice most people recognise as "yoga"
• Pranayama — breath control techniques that regulate energy flow
• Pratyahara — withdrawal of the senses from external distractions
• Dharana — the practice of fixing awareness on one thing without wandering
• Dhyana — the state of effortless, flowing attention
• Samadhi — profound stillness where individual identity dissolves into awareness

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