The Eight Limbs of Yoga: A Handbook for Living Yoga Philosophy
Original price was: $17.00.$8.49Current price is: $8.49.
A clear, concise guidebook to the essentials of yogic thought and practice
Many people think yoga simply means postures and breathing. Not true. The intention of this short guide is practical and straightforward: to say what yoga really is and to apply its principles to everyday life. It leads us through the eight-limbed system, a coherent framework that has been handed down and elaborated upon for thousands of years and consists of five “outer limbs,” which pertain to our experience of the social world and the operation of our senses, and three “inner limbs,” which focus on the mind. Stuart Ray Sarbacker and Kevin Kimple present the eight-limbed system as something that can be turned to again and again to deepen and expand understanding and practice. As an introduction and overview to the essence of yoga, The Eight Limbs of Yoga is unparalleled for clarity, usefulness, and concision.

Good read
Very interesting read and good at explaining the basic principles of yoga to anyone. If you are new to yoga and want to learn more about the philosophy and principles of it I’d suggest reading this for sure. Great to add to my book collection.

Great book
If you need to understand more about the eight limbs, this is a great book. We reviewed the limbs during my teacher training, but this is a deep dive into each limb. It gives you the insight you need and is very helpful.

A Great Companion to the Yogasutras of Patanjali
A great companion to the Yogasutras of Patanjali. I’ve read the Yogasutras a few times and each time, it’s like I’ve just discovered it. Some things I understand differently, and others I see for the first time. This book is wonderfully written; it’s a quick and easy read that you’ll definitely benefit from.

I enjoyed this book for itâs simplistic approach to the eight limbs of Yoga. It was a nice supplement to my ongoing studies of the eight limbs of Yoga.

Easy read!
As part of a Yoga Teacher Training, I wanted to learn more about the 8 limbs. This book has been perfect for breaking them down into simple terms. Highly recommend!

I love this book!!!
This book has been so helpful to my life. I am a really busy person and it helps to to have a pocket hand book that i can just pull out and review. It has so many powerful words of the 8 limbs of yoga and I feel like it is written in a way where the common person can digest and understand the material. If you want to go deeper into your practice or you are just curious about yoga this book is for you.

A Great Read for Those Interested in Yoga Philosophy
This has been such an interesting and engaging read, and has such great information packed into a nice small handbook. I loved reading about how the philosophies of Yoga have been tied into different religions. Would definitely recommend.

A quick read, but deep enough. If you’re starting on your path to inner yoga, this is a perfect first book. If not, get it for a friend!
