- Aparigraha: Non-greed, attitude of generosity, and non-possessiveness
Niyamas
- Saucha: Purity, cleanliness of body and mind
- Santosha: Contentment, being satisfied with what you have
- Tapas: Self-discipline, diligence, and perseverance in your practice
- Swadhyaya: Self-study, study of scriptures but also of oneself
- Ishvarapranidhana: Surrendering to a higher intelligence, the realization of and dedication to the divine presence within all
