{Y}integration Yin Yoga | Ahimsa | Nonviolence
Yamas | A Study & Embodiment of Yoga Philosophy • 1h 21m
Welcome to the 8 Limbs of Yoga and {Y}integration! These practices dive deeper into the basic tenets and philosophical underpinnings of yoga as a journey or pathway to enlightenment.
Here we begin with the first step which includes the 10 basic tenets to live by - the Yamas (how we engage with and connect to the world around us) and the Niyamas (how we engage with ourselves and build our inner self).
In this practice we work with Ahimsa, the first and MOST important of all of the basic tenets. We use this as the evaluation of all things in our lives. Are we harming ourselves with our way of life, our words, our choices? Are we harming others by words, actions, choices? How do we integrate this into our daily lives and the choices we make - join me!
