Pratyahara: The Fifth Limb of Yoga

Pratyahara, the art of calming and withdrawing the senses is one of the main practices of Yoga and provides a strong foundation for meditation. Swami Sivananda says: “Pratyahara itself is termed as Yoga as it is the most important limb in Yoga Sadhana” – this is true today, more than ever.

In today’s world our senses are constantly bombarded by external stimuli.  It can become very difficult for the mind to stay peaceful amidst all the information coming from our laptops and cellphones.  We become so accustomed to sensory overload that we begin to seek it and may even become addicted to it.

We will  learn how to practice pratyahara more intentionally in our life  in order to help us stay peaceful even when our world does not provide the perfect conditions.
