| Summary: | Yoga practice provides access to religious experience, which has been defined by William James as "immediate luminousness, philosophical reasonableness, and moral helpfulness."

This article concludes with instructions on how to perform a practice that integrates Yoga breathing and movement with reflections on the Sāṃkhya descriptions of physical and emotional realities (tattvas and bhāvas). |
