Yoga in the form of action (kriya yoga) has three parts: 1) training and purifying the senses (tapas), 2) self-study in the context of teachings (svadhyaya), and 3) devotion and letting go into the creative source from which we emerged (ishvara pranidhana).
Yoga has endured and evolved as the result of devoted practice and study over generations. For those who continue in such tradition, this website exists to serve you. It was created with the intention of providing tools for people who are working on deepening their understanding of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. For more than a decade, athayoganusasnam.com has provided an online resource for the yoga sutra study.
