Yamas are the first limb of yoga in the Ashtanga yoga system.</p> <p> </p> <p align="left">The literal translation of the word Yama in Sanskrit is “restraint”. Religious texts of Hinduism and Jainism outline five yamas.</p> <p align="left"> </p> <p align="left">Brahmacharya reminds us to approach each day and each action with a sense of sacredness rather than indulgence so that we may experience and live life in wonder and privilege rather than the misgivings of greed and excess.</p> <p align="left"> </p> <p align="left">Brahmacharya—the moderation of the senses— is one of the key practices for managing sensory cravings.
