5 Kleshas explained: How Yoga Philosophy Helps You Break Free from Suffering
✨ Are you tired of repeating the same old patterns, even when you know better? In this video, I’ll guide you through the 5 kleshas — the hidden obstacles to freedom described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
Using a simple memory trick with your own hand and five fingers, you’ll learn how to easily remember each klesha and recognise how these invisible forces shape your thoughts, reactions, and behaviours. More importantly, you’ll discover how yoga philosophy helps you move beyond them so you can live with more clarity, ease, and freedom.
🌿 What you’ll learn in this video:
What the five kleshas are and why they matter
How they show up in your everyday life
A simple hand-and-fingers method to remember them
How yoga philosophy reveals your true nature as pure awareness
Whether you’re a yoga teacher, practitioner, or simply interested in meditation and self-awareness, this teaching will give you tools to recognise and release the obstacles that hold you back.
