Abstract
Yoga practice provides access to religious experience, which has been defined by William James as “immediate luminousness, philosophical reasonableness, and moral helpfulness.” In this paper the processes of Yoga will be summarized as found in the Bhagavad Gιta and the Yoga S utra. This article concludes with instructions on how to perform a practice that integrates Yoga breathing and movement with reflections on the Sam khya descriptions of physical and emotional realities (tattvas and bhavas).
