Practicing 8 limbs

There are 8 limbs in Yoga and in Muay Thai. I don't really practice elbows much though, since they're illegal in NY. 
YOGA:
  • Yama :  Universal morality



  • Niyama :  Personal observances



  • Asanas :  Body postures



  • Pranayama :  Breathing exercises, and control of prana



  • Pratyahara :  Control of the senses



  • Dharana :  Concentration and cultivating inner perceptual awareness



  • Dhyana :  Devotion, Meditation on the Divine



  • Samadhi :  Union with the Divine



  • MUAY THAI:
  • 2 Elbows



  • 2 Fists



  • 2 Knees



  • 2 Shins
    = 8 limbs
