Swa = self, Dharma = cosmological order
Similar to Ko Hum, who am I, is the question, Am I on the right path? This requires swadyaya, self study. Uma defined self study as the willingness to recognize one's strengths and limitation. She advised to not get caught in our limitations (suffering), as is our great temptation.
One of the definitions of yoga is "breaking the bonds of suffering". One of the ways we know if we are in swadhama is the feeling tone of actionless action.
We used asana, mantra and breath to help see clearly that our potential is Sat Chit Ananda and paying attention to the path that lead us to this feeling.
