The second chapter of the Yoga Sutra is the ‘practice’ chapter. It focuses on the practices that bring our minds to steadiness. It describes the five klesas and the means to reduce these. We are introduced to the important framework of kriya yoga as well as the comprehensive system of ashtanga yoga (the eight limbs of yoga). The results of each of the practices is also explained.
