Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy with a high level of commitment is called a yogi or yogini.
Patanjali is widely regarded as the compiler of the formal yoga philosophy.
Light on Yoga was followed by titles on pranayama and various aspects of yoga philosophy.
Workshops cover a wide range of topics, including professional development, yoga philosophy, healing arts, feminism, religious studies, psychology, creative expression, and professional development.
According to Patanjali, the founder of yoga philosophy, the final stage of meditation in dhyāna is considered to be jhāna.
Jyotirmayananda has written over 40 books emphasizing yoga philosophy in everyday life, helping people understand how to works towards a goal of attaining self-realization.
Like his other books, "Light on Life" is rich in yoga philosophy and methodology.
For many, this leads to a pursuit of some form of enlightenment, often through meditation, yoga philosophy or, in some cases, a study of Metaphysics.
