SHANTI MANTRA OM SAHANA VAVATU

Breathe & check in: how was today?

Niyamas!

The niyamas are behavioral recommendations (the things we strive to practice).

  • Saucha - cleanliness
  • Santosha - contentment
  • Tapas - discipline/responsibility

  • Ishvara Pranidhana - service/surrender to something bigger

"From contentment there flows the most supreme happiness and joy." (II, Sutra 42)
