Niyama (self-discipline): Niyama focuses on personal observances, such as cleanliness (saucha), contentment (santosha), self-discipline (tapas), self-study (svadhyaya), and surrender to a higher power (ishvara pranidhana).

Pranayama (breath control): Pranayama involves breath control techniques that enhance the flow of life force energy (prana) in the body. It aims to regulate and deepen the breath, promoting physical and mental well-being.

Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses): Pratyahara is the practice of turning attention inward by withdrawing the senses from external stimuli. It helps in achieving a state of inner focus and concentration.
