of Yoga is also referred to as the Ashtang Yoga, which comprises of eight basic
features namely Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratayahara, dharna, dhayan
and samadhi. Each feature has its own significance. Yama promotes the universal
disciplines of truth, self-control, non-violence, non-stealing and non-greed.
The second feature, Niyama, endorses human values of contentment, self-study,
penance, cleanliness and surrender to God. Asanas are the various yogic postures
that are to be performed to keep the body fit and fine. The management of the
breath is covered under the aspect of Pranayama. The feature of Pratayahara
is practiced to compose the mind and alienate oneself from the five senses.
Dharna and Dhyan are about concentrating and meditating and the final aspect
of Samadhi refers to the ultimate state of oneness with God.
