The document outlines the eight limbs of yoga which are a set of spiritual practices aimed at attaining a state of meditation and self-realization. The eight limbs include yamas (ethical practices), niyamas (self-discipline), asana (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (enlightenment or bliss). The goal of these practices is to gain control over one's body, senses, mind and breath to reach higher states of awareness and liberation from suffering.
