    A Definition of Yoga from the Bhagavad Gita

    From the perspective of the Viniyoga tradition, lots of different things can be yoga. As we look to movement, mindfulness, or meditation, yoga philosophy can guide us to not only what yoga is but also the why. Yoga is an experience that can be spoken about in terms of the organizational tools, the preparation, the arising experience, and the results. Join Chase in this brief discussion of how classical definitions can help us piece together: what is yoga?  Exploring the definition from The Bhagavad Gītā Chapter 2 śloka 48's definition of yoga as equanimity, he weaves in perspectives from The Haṭhayogapradīpika and Yogasūtra. Want more yoga philosophy? Chase Bossart will begin his 5th cycle of teaching the Yogasūtras from Chapter 1 starting April 23rd 2026, a journey that takes 6 years from start to finish.
