The Yamas and Niyamas

This book by philosopher-therapist-Yogini extraordinaire, Deborah Adele, beautifully and simply explains the principles contained in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The Yamas and Niyamas are the foundations of ethical living according to the Sutras, and they read like a detailed map, telling us where to go and how to get there. Ms. Adele says of these 10 tenets: “I often think of them as jewels, because they are the rare gems of wisdom that give direction to a well-lived and joyful life.”
