Yoga Yajnavalkya teaches 8 Asanas

Yoga Yajnavalkya text describes meditation

• ... that the Yoga Yajnavalkya is one of the texts on Asanas and meditation that dominated the Indian yoga (pictured) scene before the 12th-century?

• ALT1:...that the Yoga Yajnavalkya, like Patanjali's Yogasutras, is an ancient yoga text that dedicates more verses on proper breathing (Pranayama) than postures (Asanas) (pictured).
• ALT2:...that the Yoga Yajnavalkya states that reflective meditation is feeling of one's own self (Atman, soul) through the mind.

5x expanded by Ms Sarah Welch (talk) and Nvvchar (talk). Nominated by Ms Sarah Welch (talk) at 03:09, 30 December 2015 (UTC).

• 5X expanded as claimed, plenty long enough (this article is probably good enough to go for GA), and well written. First hook is the best; it's short enough but interesting. Hook is supported by a print book but sections available on Google Books which made it easier to verify. QPQ done. Either image works. Good to go! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:47, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
