Niyama (Internal Observances)
Self-discipline and healthy habits to cultivate inner peace.
Asana (Physical Postures)
Strengthening and balancing the body.
Pranayama (Breathwork)
Regulating the breath to enhance energy and focus.
Pratyahara (Sense Withdrawal)
Turning the inward and quieting the mind.
Dharana (Concentration)
Focusing the mind on a single point.
Dhyana (Meditation)
Cultivating a state of effortless awareness.
Samadhi (Absorption)
A state of complete integration and bliss.
