So excited to join the lovely @mintyogini once again in this challenge that derives from the Yoga Sutras. 🕉🙏🏻💗 ||| NEW CHALLENGE ANNOUNCEMENT ||| #yogasutram | March 18-24 . We're proud to announce we're partnering up again to bring you a challenge that dives deep into yoga philosophy! During this challenge, we will explore a daily Yoga Sutra we found especially relevant to the essence, practice, and aim of yoga, and we'll pair it with an asana or practice that we feel illustrates the daily topic. . This challenge is open to all levels and we'll cover a variety of content including philosophy, asana, pranayama (breathing techniques), and dharana (concentration) to enhance your experience and take your yoga practice to the next level! . No prior knowledge of the Yoga Sutras is required. However, you are most welcome and encouraged to read up on the Sutras and share your daily thoughts on the selected sutra (we will be reading!). The Yoga Sutras, compiled by the sage Patanjali prior to 400 CE, are considered to be the foundational text of classical yoga philosophy and they cover the topics of enlightenment, yoga practice (ashtanga, or the eight limbs of yoga), results, and liberation. . .
