Where did the eight limbs of yoga come from?!


Question: Where did the eight limbs of yoga come from!?
Answers:
As I understand it, Patanjali distilled the 'best' yoga practices into the eight limbs*, presenting them in the treatise/text The Yoga Sutras!.

* known as Astanga (ash=eight; tanga=branches), or, Eight-fold path!.
This should not be confused with Sri K!. Pattabhi Jois' system of Hatha yoga sometimes distinguished as Astanga Vinyasa)

I hope 'rhwyogi' responds to this question also!. He will no doubt be able to answer in greater depth/experience!.

Namaste',
