While the yamas are about our relationship with others, the niyamas are about the relationship we have with our Self. The first of the five niyamas is saucha.
Saucha is a Sanskrit word often translated as “purity” or “cleanliness”. It refers to cleaning at many levels - the physical and mental levels, as well as the internal and external. If correctly practiced, saucha has a profound effect on our total well-being.

                        The Niyama Saucha is often translated as purity or cleanliness on and off the yoga mat. It's the first Niyama in Patanjali's 8 limb path of yoga.

                        There are five Niyamas that help us shape our personal behavior. The first Niyama is Soucha, which is the practice of cleanliness.

                        The root chakra, or mūlādhāra chakra in Sanskrit, is known as “the root of all things.” Located at the base of the spine at about tailbone-level, it acts as the individual's center of emotional and spiritual balance, as well as instinctual consciousness. At its most basic level, the root chakra is concerned with needs.

                        Svadhisthana or the sacral chakra, is the second primary chakra according to Hindu Tantrism. This chakra is said to be blocked by fear, especially the fear of death. Opening this chakra can boost creativity, manifested desire and confidence.

                        Located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor, and the first three vertebrae, the root chakra is responsible for your sense of safety and security on this earthly journey.
The word Muladhara breaks down into two Sanskrit words: Mula meaning “root” and Adhara, which means “support” or “base.”
This is the first of the chakras of matter. Balancing the root chakra creates the solid foundation for opening the chakras above. Imagine that you’re laying the foundation for a house in which you’re going to live for a long time. A solid foundation embedded in firm soil will provide the stability you need to create a home filled with joy for years to come.
The root chakra is comprised of whatever grounds you to stability in your life. This includes your basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and safety, as well as your more emotional needs such as letting go of fear. When these needs are met, you feel grounded and safe, and you tend to worry less day to day.

                        Anahata or heart chakra is the fourth primary chakra, according to Hindu Yogic, Shakta and Buddhist Tantric traditions. In Sanskrit, anahata means "unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten". Anahata Nad refers to the Vedic concept of unstruck sound. Anahata is associated with balance, calmness, and serenity.

                        Svādhyāya is a Sanskrit term which means self-study and especially the recitation of the Vedas and other sacred texts. It is also a broader concept with several meanings. In various schools of Hinduism, Svadhyaya is a Niyama connoting introspection and "study of self".

                        Creativity, sexuality, and spirituality is all one of the same center of energy. To try to separate these from each other is feeding into the dogma of a society who hasn't come to know itself very well.
