Ethical Discipline
An important part of the practice Yoga is the observance of certain ethical disciplines and rules of conduct. In Eastern philosophy these are known as Yama and Niyama.
There are 5 ethical disciplines which are:
- Non violence
- Truthfulness
- Non stealing
- Chastity
- Freedom from desire
There are also 5 rules of conduct:
- Cleanliness
- Contentment
- Austerity

No-one who studies Yoga is forced to obey these rules and disciplines. However careful study and application leads to personal growth, happiness and more enjoyment in life.
