Explore the final three limbs of yoga—Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi—as tools for inner peace and clarity, particularly in midlife. Learn about their benefits and practices to bring calm and focus to your daily life.
The Yamas establish a foundation of ethical living, which is the bedrock of any spiritual practice. They guide our interactions with the world, promoting non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, moderation, and non-possessiveness. The Niyamas, on the other hand, turn our focus inwards, inviting us to cultivate self-discipline and personal growth. These internal observances include cleanliness (Saucha), contentment (Santosha), discipline (Tapas), self-study (Svadhyaya), non-attachment (Aparigraha), and surrender (Ishvarapranidhana).
