Like most young llamas, Amal gets tired of being told what to do. The rules just don’t seem fair! One day, she impulsively ignores her mom and, instead of cleaning her room, takes matters into her own two-toed feet and sneaks out for some adventure.

She meets Śauca, a raccoon busy washing her fur and food in a stream. With her new friend’s gentle example, tidying up suddenly makes sense and Amal hurries home to straighten things out with Mama.

In each following chapter, Amal learns a new niyama:

· contentment from Santoṣa the bear,

· commitment and discipline from Tapas the beaver,

· self-study from Svādhāya the coyote, and

· trust and surrender from Īśvara-Praṇidhāna the spider.
