Going Deep with Pratyahara, the 5th Limb of Yoga
This week we move our practice from the outside world to the inside world beneath the surface. Many people practice yoga, often without fully understanding the eight limbs of yoga. Pratyahara, the fifth limb, is an important step in achieving higher consciousness and inner peace. Pratyahara is a Sanskrit word that literally translates to “withdrawal from the senses”. It involves withdrawing your energy from external objects and turning inward to explore your own inner world.
