One of the eight limbs is NIYAMAS means Observances. There\u2019re five NIYAMAS:<br \/>\n\u2022Saucha:(Cleanliness) Leave a place cleaner than you found it.<br \/>\n\u2022Santosha:(contentment) Don\u2019t worry, be happy!<br \/>\n\u2022Tapas:(Burning impurities) When the going get tough, the tough gets going.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022Svadyaya: (Self-study) Learn from your mistakes.<br \/>\n\u2022Ishvarapranidhana:(Serrender) Have faith! Need to move on.<br \/>\nThese are  what I can\u2019t agree more! Yoga is a practice of transforming and benefitting every aspect of life, not just the 60 minutes spent on a rubber mat. If we can learn to be kind, truthful and use our energy in a worthwhile way, we will not only benefit ourselves with our practice, but everything and everyone around us too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was one class we learned about what\u2019s YOGA.
