Ahimsa: Non Violence

Hi Yogis,

So, there are 8 limbs of yoga. The Yamas, or attitudes towards ourselves and others, compromise the first limb of yoga.

There are 5 yamas, and Ahimsa is the first yama.

This yama (attitude) asks us to restrain from both physical and mental violence, and to practice acts of kindness to other creatures, as well as ourselves.

hmmm,.....let's put it into practice.

Love,
Aria

YOGA VOCAB of the DAY:
Yama = attitude towards yourself or others
Ahimsa = non-violence in both thought and deed. Kindness towards others AND ourselves
