|---|---|
Niyama | Personal ethics: Saucha (cleanliness), Santosha (contentment), Tapas (committed practice), Svadhyaya (study), Isvara pranidhana (surrendering into Oneness) |
Asana | Physical postures. Nourish your body, develop discipline, and cultivate focused attention. |
Pranayama | Breathing practices. Understand and consciously connect your breath, mind, and emotions. |
Pratyahara | Sensory withdrawal. Be aware of yet detached from sensory stimuli, stepping back to objectively observe your habits, cravings, and patterns. |
Dharana | Concentration. Practice single- point focused concentration with attentive awareness. |
Dhyana | Meditation. Steady your awareness with easy focus, and a still mind. |
Samadhi | Absorption. A state of deep peace and universal interconnection. |
