http://www.melissawest.com This is the first in a series of ten classes on the yamas and niyamas as outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. The yoga sutra is one of the most well-known spiritual texts of yoga. The yamas and niyamas are the ethical practices and social observances by which we can choose to live our lives. Ahimsa is the first and most important of all the yamas. Ahimsa means nonviolence, or compassion and kindness. In the thirty-third episode of Namaste Yoga we will explore the yama ahimsa as it pertains to our thoughts words and actions. We will also cultivate non-violence through our thoughts and bodies as we practice yoga asana.
