In yoga philosophy, one of the eight limbs or components of the path to spiritual liberation, or more generally a limb or body part.
From Sanskrit 'anga' meaning 'limb' or 'body part.' In the context of yoga, it refers to the eight aspects outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi).
The eight limbs of yoga aren't just about stretching—they're a whole lifestyle system that includes ethical rules, meditation, and breathing exercises, with physical poses being just one small part.
