Self-discipline in ashtanga yoga:
Explanation:
- Niyama in Yoga Sutras is the second stage in Ashtanga Yoga, the eight-fold limbs of Yoga.
- ‘Niyama’ deals mostly with our internal self-discipline other than external ethical behavior.
- The yoga tradition has given excessive importance to the development of a balanced personality before taking up higher practices of yoga.
- Niyamas are aimed at creating inner strength and self-discipline in order to take up subsequent higher yogic practices.
- Niyamas are inner restraints and either observances or obligations.
Niyamas are as follows:
- Saucha (purity or cleanliness)
- Santosa (contentment or happiness)
- Tapas (austerity or discipline)
- Svadhyaya (self-study)
- Ishwara Pranidhana (surrender to God).
