About Raja Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga literally means
'eight-limbed yoga,' as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. According to Patanjali, the path of internal purification for revealing the Universal Self consists of the following eight spiritual practices:
Yama [moral codes]
Niyama [self-purification and study]
Asana [posture]
Pranayama [breath control]
Pratyahara [sense control]
Dharana [concentration]
Dhyana [meditation]
Samadhi [contemplation]
Physical Benefits
Practice of Ashtanga Yoga improves resistance to disease, builds up will power, developes strength and flexibility, reduces excess weight, and removes toxins.
So forth, it assures a more pleasant environment for the mind to function in everyday life.
