Yoga Basics: Yamas and Niyamas Understanding the first two steps of yoga – yamas (rules) and niyamas (regulations) – is like accepting the rules of a game before playing the game. When these basics of yoga are firmly in place, the next steps – physical postures (asana) and breath (pranayama) become more effective and we steadily progress towards the other, more advanced levels of yoga. In this workshop we will explain and discuss the ten rules and regulations of yoga to offer students a perspective on how they may enhance their learning, practice and teaching. The instructor.
