what are the Yamas and Niyamas?

the concept of the Yamas and Niyamas was first documented in
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali which is essentially an instruction manual on how to live a yogic lifestyle and reach enlightenment.

The steps for this path to enlightenment are known as the 8 limbs of yoga.

The first 2 limbs of the 8 limbs of yoga are the Yamas and Niyamas. 

The Yamas and Niyamas are the foundation for a life as a yogi. 
They are essentially guidelines on how to live a life that promotes peace, ease and authenticity. 

THE YAMAS
Ahimsa: non-harming/non violence
Satya: truthfulness/honesty
