Eightfold path of yoga- Asana and Pranayama

Eightfold Yoga Workshop : Asana & Pranayama

When we think of yoga today, most of us imagine stretching into poses—downward dog, headstands, or flowing sequences. But the original texts of yoga, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, offer a very different perspective.

For Patanjali, asana—the posture—is not about perfect shapes or flexibility. Instead, it is about stability, ease, and awareness. The goal of asana is simple yet profound: to create a body that can sit comfortably in meditation, so it no longer distracts or hinders our inner journey.

Once the body is steady, the next step is pranayama, the regulation and refinement of the breath. Patanjali explains that through breath practice, the mind gradually clears, restlessness fades, and clarity emerges. Pranayama helps us lift the “veil” that clouds our natural inner light, allowing a calm, focused, and luminous mind to shine through.

In this workshop, you will:

– Explore the deeper meaning of asana beyond physical shapes

– Learn how steady posture naturally supports breath and awareness

– Begin foundational pranayama practices to calm and focus the mind

– Connect physical practice with the philosophical roots of yoga

This session is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Step onto the mat with curiosity, leave with a sense of ease, clarity, and the first taste of yoga as it was originally intended: a path to inner stillness and awareness.
