Yamas are social codes or principles of self-control within social situations. They provide a background for a theoretical framework linking experiential practice of Yoga to spirituality and ethics at workplace by harmonizing and deepening social connections according to Corner (2009). She advocates for employing Yoga based practices including Yama and Niyama to provide experiential foundation for building knowledge alongside more positivist ways of knowing. Such an approach is likely to yield novel insights about the relationships between spirituality and ethical behavior at workplace and beyond.

Citta may be translated as “that which is conscious,” “ordinary consciousness” or “the act of mental apprehension”; and prasadanam may be translated as “happiness” “filled with grace,” “joyfulness”. Yoga Sutra (Aphorism on Yoga) teach that Chittaprasadm is cultivated by practicing Maitri- universal friendship, Karun-compassion, Mudita- happiness for others and Upeksha- indifference. For the interpersonal interaction matri, karun, mudita and upeksha are considered as the ideal.<ref>Pandey A.
