Yama et Niyama by Sadhana Varma explores the foundational ethical principles of classical yoga as outlined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. The book focuses on the first two limbs of the eightfold path—Yama (ethical restraints) and Niyama (personal observances)—offering practical guidance for spiritual seekers aiming to cultivate discipline and inner alignment. Written in French, this concise 55-page volume serves as an accessible introduction to yogic ethics, emphasizing their relevance not only for meditation and self-inquiry but also for daily life. Published by Adyar, a press associated with the Theosophical Society, the work reflects a tradition of blending Eastern philosophy with Western spiritual inquiry.
