Niyamas in yoga

Niyamas !!
The personal disciplining , without which yoga will have no base. One must have self-discipline and grounding first. 
1) Sauch- cleanliness and purity of  he body mind and the environment in which one lives in.
2) Santosha- contentment which must be discovered within and not always pursued externally. 
3) Tapas- removal of impurities to bring balance, energy and health 
4) Swadhyaya- self-study , gaining self-experience and introspection. 
5) Ishwara pranidhana- living according to ones “true nature “ or surrender completely to ones beloved deity.

These are the essential foundation of the patanjali’s yoga sutras.  A seeker who has a goal of self- realization is bound to abide by these codes if he chooses Patanjali’s Astanga yoga.

Also, each point requires deep and detailed understanding,  this article just touches the points for general awareness.
 Nevertheless if each point is understood properly and implied onto one’s life, a major part of the battle is won even before entering a yoga hall.
