yoga has 8 parts they are
1. Yama (moral restraints) – how we relate to others
2. Niyama (observances) – how we relate to ourselves
3. Āsana (posture) – how we relate to our body
4. Prāṇāyāma (breath extension) – how we relate to our breath or spirit
5. Pratyāhāra (sensory withdrawal) – how we relate to our sense organs
6. Dhāraṇā (concentration) – how we relate to our mind
7. Dhyāna (meditation) – moving beyond the mind
8. Samādhi (meditative absorption) – deep realization and inner union
