Santosha
Is a Sanskrit word that translates to “cultivating a state of contentment, or inner peace".
It’s the second of the five Niyamas, or Limbs , of Patanjali’s Yoga philosophy. It is the practice of finding satisfaction and contentment in the present moment. Santosha involves accepting and appreciating what you have and who you are right here in this moment.
