#the8limbsofyoga: let's chat! Limb number 2: #nyiama The word Niyama means respect, and on the observation. They are 5, and they act in an inner level of self development. While the Yama were more about the moral aspect of a human being, these are more practical. . #saucha is the first Niyama and it means #purity. In terms of physical body, we should keep it clean and steer away from not nurturing foods (alcohol, sugars...). In the #hathayogapradipika there's also a detailed description of how and when to clean different parts of our body. Have you read it? What do you think? . #Santosha is the second, and it means being content with what we do have. The sun, the wind, water and air, are all things that we have been belled with. Nowadays, they should not be taken for granted, we should do all we can to respect them and make good use of them. Are you happy with what you have, or do you look for more? What have you done today to treat well #MotherEarth? . . . . . . . . .
