So let's start with a smile :) Ashtang Yoga, often referred to as the eight-limbed path, offers a comprehensive roadmap for spiritual growth and self-realization. One of its essential components is Dhyana, the practice of meditation. In this brief but detailed blog, we will explore the significance of Dhyana in Ashtanga Yoga. 1.
