The Yamas and Niyamas

I’ve previously written about the five Niyamas in a series of posts, with just a short note on what the Niyamas are, but before beginning a look at the Yamas, I thought it might be a good time to look at these two limbs of the eight limbs of yoga.…

Diving into the Niyamas: Isvara-Pranidhana

Diving into the Niyamas: Tapas
