I thought I would post this from July's newsletter as a refresher. Also, I there was a typo in the newsletter, listing both the Yamas and Niyamas as "attitudes toward ourselves"... I suppose that was a Freudian slip of sorts alluding to my extreme narcissism-- HA! So here you go:
What are the Yamas and Niyamas?
Yamas - our attitudes toward others:
1. Ahimsa: Non-harming
2. Satya: Truthfulness or right communication
3. Asteya: Non-stealing or non-covetousness
4. Brahmacharya: Appropriate use of sexual energy or moderation
5. Aparigraha: Non-hoarding
Niyamas- our attitudes towards ourselves:
1. Sauca: Cleanliness
2. Santosha: Contentment
3. Tapas: Self-discipline or correct habits
4. Svadyaya: Self-study
5. Isvara Pranidhana:
Reverence to a higher intelligence or the acceptance of our limitations in relation to God
