In the previous episode, Vikram and I started a masterclass on the yamas and niyamas where we dove deep into the five yamas, their layers, and how someone moves through the yamas. And as part two of this masterclass, Vikram and I are putting the spotlight on the niyamas in this episode.

Join us as we identify the differences between the yamas and niyamas and the reasons why they differ in application. We also go over each of the five niyamas, their definitions, and applications for practitioners in our day-to-day life.

Episode Highlights:

• The difference between the yamas and the niyamas
• Are the yamas and niyamas absolute?
• The layers of saucha and its application to a modern-day practitioner
• How does one practice santosha
• What does tapas mean?
• The methodology to svadhyaya
• The practice of ishvarapranidhana
• Recommendations for practicing the niyamas
