The Deeper Purpose of Yoga

Swami Satchidananda explains the deeper purpose and meaning of Yoga—beyond the physical part of Yoga poses. Aside from the physical benefits, Yoga’s greater purpose is to enable the mind to be calm and balanced. Meditation is the main Yoga practice that enables us to cultivate the ability to witness, to be mindful. He illuminates the importance of cultivating the witness in order to not be emotionally reactive when challenges arise in life. (c)2017 Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville, Inc. / www.integralyoga.org
