Nine Obstacles and Seven Practices
In the first chapter of the Yoga Sutra, we’re given a list of nine obstacles (antarayas) that get in our way. These obstacles are the inner blocks that keep us from moving in the direction of inner freedom.
We all experience them. But we don’t have to be stuck in them.
In order to work through the obstacles, we’re given seven ideas for practice.
