Yogic Principles-8 Limbs and Heart Center

To be without desires is the essence of yama in relation to ourselves and how we interact with the world. These principle guidelines are required for a life of spiritual attainment in yoga. To rise above the primitive human nature of basic survival, to abstain from sexual indulgence and alleviation of greed from an inherent sense of lack or false belief of a scarcity of resources. Observance of the 5 yamas will reduce mental and emotional suffering with the elimination of desire.
