It presents the 10 essential ethical principles—yamas (restraints) and niyamas (observances)—with clear explanations and practical self-study exercises. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, this book bridges classical yoga philosophy with modern life, empowering readers to cultivate mindfulness, integrity, and spiritual growth. ## Description 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. Review: How to life the life of a complicated human being. - I was first exposed to this book in a yoga class I was taking a couple of years ago, as our instructor would read sections of it to our class. At the time it did not hold much meaning for me until a counselor gave me her copy and suggested I read it. It sat for some time before I picked it up. I immediately took to its message of living with honesty and softness. I liked it so much that I bought a copy for myself, as I am one to read books that I like many times. I will keep this book not only to read again, but as a trusted guide. Review: this book is perfect - I am reading this book as part of a group activity, we are reading a chapter a month, and doing the exercises each week as specified n each chapter. I LOVE it, it is so well written, simple, and straight forward, and addresses the spiritual aspects of yoga that are not always know to people practicing yoga as a form of physical strengthening. I am not a yogi, and only know a handful of the physical postures in yoga so far. This book is what I needed to understand not only why I might want to practice yoga, but also accesses the spiritual path of enlightenment through simple, grounded, practical every day practices and personal inquiry. I LOVE this book. None of these spiritual concepts are new to me - however, it is the way the information is presented and the simple unfoldment of the concepts that is really really lovely (and helpful). I recommend this book to everyone - those first starting out on a spiritual inquiry or in the practice of yoga, and those who will find this a revisiting via a new voice and perspective. This book would make a great gift too. I love it. ## Features - all about the yamas and niyamas in yoga philosophy and practice ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,404 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Yoga (Books) #19 in Eastern Philosophy (Books) #32 in Meditation (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,252 Reviews | ## Images ![The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SCHUXzVgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How to life the life of a complicated human being. *by K***N on April 18, 2026* I was first exposed to this book in a yoga class I was taking a couple of years ago, as our instructor would read sections of it to our class.
