The yamas and niyamas are considered one of the 'eight limbs' of yoga. They are precepts that allow us to be at peace with ourselves, our families and our communities. The yamas include ahimsa, non-violence; satya, truthfullness; asteya, non-stealing; and aparigraha, non-hoarding. The niyamas include saucha, purity; santosha, contentment; tapas, austerity; swadyaya, self-study; and ishvara pranidhana, surrender.
This is a link to a beautifully written article from the Natural Parent Network about applying the yamas to parenting. Enjoy!
