　　In yoga theory, Yamas (controlling precepts) and Niyamas (obeying) are very important precepts. Yamas refers to external control, the moral precepts of the universe ； And Niyamas refers to inner control, self-purification through self-discipline. There are 10 precepts in Yamas and Niyamas. For example, one of Yamas is non-violence and non-killing (Ahimsa), which means not to choose food that may harm the body. Many yoga practitioners also associate this precept with how to obtain food and thus choose vegetarianism. Another precept we are following is Santosha, which is a very important precept in yoga. It teaches us to use what we already have to enrich ourselves, such as a good body and the ambition to make ourselves stronger or thinner, instead of being critical or negative.
