2 The five niyamas (Practices to create inner integrity) 

Saucha: purity and cleanliness of mind, body, heart and environment.

Santosha: cultivation of inner contentment, in order not to hold others responsible for our happiness. Tbpos: to glow and be illuminated with an inner aim and direction in life for growth. The great yogi lyengar suggests that a "life without tapas is like a heart without love". Svadhyaya: study, not only of an intellectual kind but also of oneself, to develop self-understanding of our inner nature. kvara-pranidhana: realization, devotion and dedication to the divine presence within all life.
