YogoLogo
A map for the examined life.
Yoga, Stoicism and Buddhism reach the same place by different doors: a mind clear enough to live fully, now. YogoLogo brings them into one plain-language framework and shows where each one fits. Start where it pulls at you:
What feels most out of alignment right now?
Not what you think you should work on. What actually pulls at you.
The eight limbs loop through the three priorities (Being, Body, Mind) around loving awareness at the centre. Follow the path, or jump in anywhere.
The path is the goal. Start where you are.
YogoLogo presents Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga for a modern reader, integrating Yoga, Stoicism and Buddhism into one framework for living.
Yoga chitta vritti nirodhah — yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. Everything here returns to that one idea.
Where modern psychology confirms the old wisdom, you’ll see it noted; where it hasn’t caught up, on the felt fact of consciousness, the older maps still go further.
Each limb works on a different layer of you, from the body at the surface to the still awareness at the centre. That map is the Layered Self.
Begin with a limb
- Ethics Yama Five ethical restraints, the ground everything else stands on. The first question of the whole path: how do I act in the world without causing harm?
- Breath Pranayama Breath as the bridge between body and mind: the fourth limb, and the most direct way to change your state.
- Absorption Samadhi The still centre, loving awareness fully expressed: the eighth limb, where the mind stops taking the shape of its contents and rests in itself.
