The Niyamas of the Yoga Sutra (Part 9): Learn Yoga Philosophy With Rachel

Patanjali's Yoga Sutra contain the eight limbs of yoga. In this video, we explore the second limb, which is composed of five niyamas. These "internal observances" offer us tons of juicy contemplations for our own lives, such as, "Do I need a technology fast?" "What brings contentment?" "How do I increase my sense of wonder and awe?" Watch to find out more!

I just love your personality. I would have never imagined the niyamas explained with a little bit of humor, but it really helps to understand them, thank you Racel 🙏🏻

Oh my gosh! I could listen to this thousand times. I really appreciate your contemporary take and applying these principles to a householder’s life. I have learned of these scattershot, but I appreciate your taking the information directly from Patanjali’s sutras and offering suggestions for direct application in our lives. ❤❤❤

Hi 😊 thank you so much for your content! Can you pls link the book you’re holding in this video?

[@RachelScottYoga]

Yes! It's the unadorned thread of yoga: www.amazon.com/Unadorned-Thread-Yoga-English-Sanskrit/dp/0978767608

[@savydude1]

I like that book, where did you get it?

[@RachelScottYoga]

The yellow one I got from a friend (with the many translations) it's "The Unadorned Thread of Yoga" - you can try Amazon. The blue version is Sri Swami Satchidananda's version.

[@savydude1]

Thank You! :) @@RachelScottYoga

[@deadlyninja8391]

It's not modern lens, for householders it should be Karma Yoga, thats what Krishna taught which was different from Astanga Yoga. One is still not his/her body & mind. Not old times, even today go to Himalayas you will find true Ashtanga yogis. To summarise Ashtanga Yoga/Patanjali yog is not for householders

[@RachelScottYoga]

Thank you for this clarification ~

[@iipinstytutintegracjipsych7109]

sexs, relations? is easy to be purer in a monaster, but is this the way?....

[@RachelScottYoga]

I am more a fan of relationships and integrating our spiritual practices with our human experiences rather than monasticism ~ the classical tantrik philosophy creates more alignment for householders I think. But Patanjali favoured renunciation…

[@iipinstytutintegracjipsych7109]

yes! but for mi tantrik to, have to levels, 1-develop yourself in the society and than , 2-develop your spirituality . thanks for your time:)@@RachelScottYoga - by the way: your mind is greaty, thank s that you to share if us.
