योग साधना

Yoga as Sadhana

Physical yoga practice as spiritual discipline, not merely exercise.

The Ritual Path

Yoga sadhana approaches asana (postures) and pranayama (breath work) as spiritual practice rather than physical exercise. The body becomes a vehicle for awakening, and practice includes the ethical foundations (yamas/niyamas) and meditative dimensions.

How to Begin

Find a teacher who emphasizes the spiritual dimensions of yoga. Establish a regular morning practice. Include pranayama and meditation, not just asana. Study the Yoga Sutras to understand the larger context.
