Inspired by 'Light on Yoga'

I have been writing a series of posts inspired by the Introduction to Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar. I started the project because every time I read the intro I thought that every paragraph just seemed so dense and powerful! The word "introduction" didn't seem to accurately describe the contents of that section to me; it seemed more like a treatise on the subject. So I thought that it might be fun to dig in and look at each paragraph and do a post about it.

1. Defining Yoga, 2. Where Yoga comes from, 3. Who is a Yogi?, 4. Bhagavad Gita: the most important authority on yoga philosophy, 5. Different facets of yoga, 6. Yoga by action, 7. Skillful living, 8. (part 1) Mind at rest, 8. (part 2) Toward clarity, 9. 'chitta vrtti nirodhah', 10. The word vrtti, 11. Controlling the mind, 12. The right means, 13. The outward quests, 14. The inward quests, 15. Quest of the Soul, 16. Profound meditation, 17. The Margas or paths, 18. Distinguishing the real from the unreal, 19. Conquering mind, 20. Mastery of self, 21. Hatha Yoga, 22. Yoga: physical or spiritual? 23. Yoga fountain, 24. Standards or ideals, 25. Mistaken view, 26. Fancy or imagination, 27. Sleep, 28. Memory, 29. Chitta vrtti creating pain, 30. Peace of mind, 31. Distractions and obstacles, 32. Four more distractions, 33. Planning counter-measures, 34. Physical health is important, 35. Setting a goal, 36. Faith, 37. Humility, 38. Unflagging Enthusiasm, 39. Contented and Tranquil, 40. The company of great souls, 41. Concentration is key, 42. Keep at it, 43. Unalloyed happiness, 44. Feeling of oneness, 45. Devoted action, 46. Feeling of delight, 47. Self-examination, 48. Quiet mind, 49. Mind and breath, 50. Yoga hierarchy, 51. Mantra, 52. Devotion-absorption-dissolution, 53. Stable mind, 54. Supreme seeker, 55. (part 1) The individual soul, And continuing...
