Niyama, The Second Limb of Yoga

The second limb of yoga to be followed is niyama. It consists of five codes for individual discipline that have to do with choices we make for our own lives. Niyama includes shaucha, santosha, tapas, svadhyaya and isvara pranidhana. Following niyama will lead to a life lived soulfully and peacefully with ourselves. As with yama, we will go over each individually.
