The first two limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga sutras -- the
basic text for classical yoga -- are examined in this spiritual
guide to the practice of yoga. Foundational to all yogic thought,
they are considered to be the guidelines to the yoga way of living
that free individuals to take ownership of their lives, direct them
toward the fulfillment they seek, and gain the skills to choose
attitude, thought, and action. The first five guidelines are
referred to as the yamas -- a Sanskrit word that translates to
"restraints" -- and encompass nonviolence, truthfulness, not
stealing, nonexcess, and nonpossessiveness. The last five are
referred to as the niyamas , or observances -- purity, contentment,
self-discipline, self-study, and surrender. A self-study section at
the end of each chapter may also be used by instructors for group
discussion.
