In this episode of Dunedin Yoga Lady, Kate Bendall, the enthusiastic host, takes you on a journey through the eight limbs of yoga. Joined by her colleague and friend, Marie, a yoga therapist and teacher, they dive deep into Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, offering insights and practical advice on integrating yoga into daily life. The conversation begins with a beautiful chant to Patanjali, setting a serene tone for the discussion that follows.
Marie shares her expertise on the sutra sessions they conduct together, emphasising the importance of connection—both with oneself and with others—in yoga practice. The episode breaks down each of the eight limbs of yoga, starting with Yama, which focuses on how we interact with others. Marie highlights the significance of kindness (Ahimsa) as the foundation of all relationships. Moving inward, they discuss Niyama, which deals with personal habits and self-care.
The conversation then transitions to Asana (physical postures) and Pranayama (breath control), stressing that yoga is not just about what happens on the mat but extends to every aspect of life. As they explore the more subtle aspects of yoga, such as Pratyahara (control of the senses), Dharana (focus), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (bliss), Kate and Marie provide practical tips for incorporating these practices into your routine.
They also touch on the importance of finding a knowledgeable teacher who can tailor the practice to individual needs. If you're curious about expanding your yoga practice beyond physical postures or looking to deepen your understanding of yoga philosophy, this episode is a must-listen. Kate and Marie's engaging discussion will leave you inspired to explore the holistic benefits of yoga. Why not take a moment to reflect on how you connect with yourself and others?
Could integrating these eight limbs of yoga bring more balance and bliss into your life?
