Alternative Dispute Resolution and Niyama, The Second Limb of Yoga Sutra

Abstract

The Yoga Sutras is an ancient text that was recorded in India more than 1,000 years ago. It contains the 8-limb path. The 8-limb path describes various prohibitions and requirements for reaching peace and fulfillment. On this 8-limb path, the second limb, Niyama, teaches that looking at life through a virtuous filter can be of benefit. Niyama literally means observances. Yoga Sutra is revived by its application to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
