That's a really important point and in the West we probably only do a tenth of all the postures available.
I'm not aware of all the other limbs - I can think of
- pranayama
- meditation
- karma yoga
- bhakti yoga (devotional)
- chanting
What others? I might have crossed over some of them. It's hugely complex.
