The yogic understanding of suffering can be broken down into five categories or ‘The Kleishas’. These five ideas are considered the sources of suffering in our lives and having studied The Eight Limbs of Yoga, we can take on The Five Kleishas with tools and tactics to help make the small adjustments that lead to bigger understanding which reinforce our yoga journey.

WOW! Has it really been a year and a day since we shared our first episodes with you?!? Join us as we take a look at what we’ve learned and gained from our practice in the last year.

Yes, it’s the tearing off of another calendar page, but it doesn’t mean we need a ‘new you’ because there was nothing wrong with the current you! How do we set ourselves up for the small steps that support our continuing practice?

Let’s wrap up our journey through the Eight Limbs by reviewing and exploring the relationship that they have with each other.

Transitioning from removing distractions to focusing on what our spirit shares with us

Dharana and Dhyana are like fraternal twins, in that there is a deep relationship but distinct differences. We discuss how we transition from Pratyahara- not being controlled by our senses, to Dharana and reclaiming our focus.

Turning the corner from the external facing limbs to the internally facing limbs, Pratyahara teaches us how to not be distracted by our own senses and thoughts.
