The Yoga in Jain Tradition

The origins of the Yoga system, linked to the Samanas or Jains, are clear from the gradual development seen in Jain scriptures. Jain Yoga focuses on a four-step path to freedom: 1. Right faith, 2. Right knowledge, 3. Right conduct, and 4. Right austerity. Even though later schools adopted these paths under different names, the core principles remained unchanged.
