Throughout the month of May, we discussed and learned more about the 5 yamas in the 8-limb Patanjali tradition of yoga in our class through conversation and practice on our mat.
We will continue our journey through all 8-limbs and discuss the Niyamas throughout the month of June. The Niyamas are practices you can cultivate within yourself. You can read more about them: An Introduction to the 5 Niyamas
The Niyamas are:
- Saucha (purification or cleanliness)
- Santosha (contentment)
- Tapas (discipline)
- Svadhyaya (self study)
- Isvara Pranidhana (devotion or surrendering to a higher power)
