Tuesday Yoga Giveaway: 8 Limbs Yoga Shirts

Question: Aside from asana, what other branches of yoga do you practice?

There’s more than the physical side to yoga; asana is one of 8 branches that make up the tree of yoga.  The whole practice includes:

  1. YAMAS — Moral disciplines /Outer Practices towards others
    the 5 restraining practices of the Yamas are Aparigraha (non-greed), Asteya (non-stealing), Ahimsa (non-violence) Brahmacharya (strength of will and sexual virtue), Satya (truth) 
  2. NIYAMAS — Moral disciplines /Inner Practice towards self
    the 5 inner practices of the Niyamas are Samtosha (contentment), Tapas (heat, perseverance), Saucha (cleanliness), Svadhyaya (self-study), Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender) 
  3. ASANA — physical postures
  4. PRANAYAMA — breath control
  5. PRATYAHARA — withdrawal of the senses
  6. DHARANA — concentration on one point
  7. DHYANA — meditation, sitting in stillness
  8. SAMADHI — super-consciousness, enlightenment

So we were stoked to see a clothing line that recognizes this. 8 Limbs Yoga Shirts are designed for more than comfort. They also offer bits of wisdom from the yoga sutras.  Inscribed on the back of the Ahims shirt is “practice peace”—in the name of ahimsa (non violence).
