Without philosophy, yoga would be gymnastics. It is, in fact, a way of life. Yoga is not just about the physical poses but is made up of eight different parts - the so-called eight limbs of yoga. This eightfold path is the heart of yoga philosophy and offers a way to develop a healthy, peaceful life. This ancient code consists of universal principles, personal disciplines, postures, breathing, focus, concentration, meditation and the opportunity to experience joy in every moment.
