saucha (purity),
santosha (contentment),tapas (discipline or austerity),
svadhyaya (spiritual studies)
Ishvara Pranidhana (constant devotion to God)
Asana: refers to yoga postures but in Patanjali’s initial practice, it referred to mastering the body to sit still for meditation. The practice of yoga asanas came about eight centuries later, which helped disciples ready their bodies for meditation.
Pranayama: are yoga breathing techniques designed to control prana or vital life force
.Pratyahara means withdrawal of the senses.
Dharana: refers to concentration.
Dhyana: is the practice of meditation.
Samadhi: is merging with the divine.
