Niyama

Niyama are personal practices in yoga that promote inner discipline and self-awareness. They serve as guidelines for developing positive habits, cultivating inner peace, and supporting spiritual growth. Niyama includes qualities like purity (cleanliness of body and mind), contentment (accepting and appreciating what we have), discipline (self-control and effort), self-study (reflection and learning), and surrender to a higher power or the natural flow of life. Practicing Niyama helps individuals nurture inner strength, clarity, and harmony, leading to greater well-being and balanced living.
