Yama

(Yama ef fyrri hlutinn af siðareglum í yoga, hinn hlutinn er niyama. Þetta er það dýrslega í okkur sem við verðum að ná tökum á.)

1. Ahimsa (ofbeldisleysi) : Nonviolence. Abstinence from injury, harmlessness, the not causing of pain to any living creature in thought, word, or deed at any time. This is the "main" yama. The other nine are there in support of its accomplishment.
2. Satya (sannleikur): truthfulness, word and thought in conformity with the facts.
3. Asteya (ekki stela): meaning "avoidance of stealing" or "non-stealing".
4. Bhramacharya (beislaðu kynorkuna og beindu orkunni að almættinu): divine conduct, continence, celibate when single, faithful when married.
5. Aparigraha (enga græðgi): absence of avariciousness, non-appropriation of things not one's own.
