"Developing bhavas through the practice of asanas": Unique work of Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra
Abstract: Samkhya philosophy talks about bhavas, i.e. attitudes, in our buddhi. There are 8 bhavas, 4 positive and 4 negatives. These mental attitudes affect how we act and react. They build our behavior. Asanas are physical postures, but bhavas are mental attitudes. With the practice of asanas, certain bhavas can be developed, and that was the research of Dr Jayadev Yogendra apart from his huge work in the field of wellness
