Yoga is one of the six darshanas: it provides a mirror in which we may see ourselves and realise our full potential. Yoga tries to create a condition in which we are always present in every action at every moment. It is the ultimate mindfulness that helps us to dive into every moment and experience it fully. It helps us become full participants instead of distracted spectators. Finally the classic definition of yoga is “ to be one with the Lord”.
According to Pathanjali’s Yoga sutras, the senses are the doors of perception. There are nine types of interruption on the individual’s journey to the state of yoga and union with the Divine. They are illness, mental stagnation, doubts, lack of foresight, fatigue, over indulgence, illusions about one’s true state of mind, lack of perservance and regression.
