Svādhyāya, or self-study, is a Niyama principle encouraging introspection and learning from spiritual texts. By reflecting on one’s thoughts and actions, practitioners cultivate self-awareness and a deeper understanding of their inner nature. This practice promotes personal growth, emotional balance, and alignment with Yogic values. Studying sacred texts and observing one’s behavior lead to greater wisdom and connection with the divine, forming an essential part of Yoga’s transformative journey.
