The Eight Limbs of Yoga

04/02/2026

This month on the ashram we’ve started a new text. Viveka Chudamani. There’s nothing better than learning a text with a teacher. Learning from books, we have the tendency to edit out what we can’t relate to or don’t want to hear. But when we learn in the presence of someone who has integrated the truth about knowledge and the knowledge of truth you can rest assured it’s a direct transmission.
You as the student just need to be ready to hear. Words being the means of knowledge. In the 2nd verse of Viveka Chudamani, the purpose of the human being is discussed. It is explained that to be born into a human body is rare. Even rarer is to question.
How easy it is to take life for granted. Everything is given to us; we’re given a body, we’re given life. According to the culture we are born into, we’re given a name and language which helps us negotiate and transact in the world. All our experiences get named. Yet nobody names the namer, and the nature of who we are remains a mystery.
It’s these kinds of things that I thought about as a yoga teacher in NYC in my 30s. At that time, I was still discovering yoga and its deeper meaning, and I was starting to question everything.
I had a series of high-end clients that would pay me to push and prod them into shape with some breathing and meditation thrown in. I would wander the streets of NY from client to client thinking is this worth it. Do I love this? Is this changing lives? I felt more like a glorified fitness instructor than a yoga teacher.
