SANTOSHA is the second Yama described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and its broader meaning is that of Virtue, which originates in the acceptance of any circumstance, and the satisfaction that comes from oneself and not from the outside. Santosha is both an attitude and a state of deep inner peace.
