Yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi are the eight limbs of yoga.

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2.29

yama = forebearances, respect for others
niyama = observances, recommended habits
asana = yoga poses
pranayama = breathwork
pratyahara = withdrawal of the mind from the objects of senses
dharana = focused concentration
dhyana = state of meditation
samadhi = contemplation, completion

The 8 flowers in the drawing are to represent the 8 limbs of yoga.
