The following information is about Yama & Niyama.
Yama & Niyama Defined
The first two stages of Patanjali's ashtanga yoga system, being a set of five restraints (yamas) and five observances (niyamas) that constitute the "ten commandments" of India. Similar to, but not quite as negative as those handed down by Moses. Stages 1 and 2 in Patanjali's analysis of the yoga systems. Stability in yama and niyama is considered essential for succuss in the practice of pranayama."Yama consists of: non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, continence, and non-greed." ( Yoga Sutras 2:30)"Niyama consists of: purity, contentment, accepting but not causing pain, spiritual study, and worship of the divine lord." ( Yoga Sutras 2:32)Whereas Patanjali lists only five yamas and five niyamas, other sources enumerate ten of each.
