Wisdom Teachings - Sat Yoga, Costa Rica

Shunyamurti explains that yoga was developed as an attempt to return to the primordial state (since the beginning of Dwapar Yuga), but that it has devolved into a set of exercises, and discusses Ashtanga Yoga, which was not the original yoga and was based on the Sankhya philosophy, explaining the eight limbs (the Yamas/Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi, Samyama) and going over them in detail, and explaining how they represent different phases of the spiritual path.
