Aparnaa Bajpai Instagram – Ever wondered why isn’t the yoga class calming you down & why is your mind constantly in restlessness, while doing pranayama? Why is it that meditation doesn’t help in bringing peace in your life. Well these are beautiful practices and should be done on a regular basis to see any results but it is long over due and underrated, the true value of yoga and the work which needs to be put into it; in order to immerse yourself in the correct technique of meditation. 👇🏽 The Panca Yamas & Niyamas!! Very first 2 steps even before you walk in to later steps of yoga postures, breathing & meditation – Social & personal code of conduct one should follow even before mastering yoga asanas. • Yamas:~ Ahimsa— non-harming Satya— refraining from dishonesty Asteya— non-stealing Brahmacharya— wise use of sexual energy Aparigraha— non-possessiveness – Niyamas:~ Saucha— purity Santosha— contentment Tapas—self-discipline Svadhyaya— self-study Ishvara pranidhana— surrender to a higher source – I personally consider these yamas & Niyamas more of inner cleansing and working on your inner self, your inner child & doing your own shadow work😇 – #yoga #eightlimbsofyoga Earth
