Paperback. A clear, concise guidebook to the essentials of yogic thought and practiceMany 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. A clear, concise guidebook to the essentials of yogic thought and practice. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

What is yoga really about?
In this short, accessible guide, The Eight Limbs of Yoga reveals that yoga is far more than physical postures and breathing techniques. Drawing from the classical eight-limbed system found in ancient Yogic and Indic traditions, Stuart Ray Sarbacker and Kevin Kimple offer a practical, elegant introduction to the full scope of yoga as a philosophy and lived practice.
This clear and concise handbook distills thousands of years of tradition into a framework you can return to again and again.
The five "outer limbs" illuminate how we act in the world—our ethics, disciplines, and sensory engagement—while the three "inner limbs" explore the mind, meditation, and the deeper states of absorption. Together, they offer a coherent, holistic path toward clarity, insight, and self-transformation.
Whether you are new to yoga, expanding your practice, or seeking philosophical grounding, this book presents yoga in its full richness—not as a fitness trend, but as a path of understanding and inner development.
Ideal for:
- Yoga practitioners and teachers
- Students and scholars of Indian philosophy
- Meditation practitioners
- Readers exploring yoga beyond the mat
- Yoga teacher training programs (YTTPs) seeking reliable introductory texts
Clear. Practical. Deeply grounded.
As an introduction to the essence of yoga, The Eight Limbs of Yoga is unparalleled in clarity, usefulness, and concision.
