Ahimsa

The journey of the Yamas begins with Ahiṃsā, often translated as non-violence. But its scope goes far beyond simply avoiding harm. Ahiṃsā asks us to cultivate a non-violent state of mind, where compassion and peace shape our actions, words, and even thoughts. In this class, we reflect on how kindness can extend not only to other people, but also to animals, the planet, and ourselves. Through small practices of compassion, you will learn how to create more harmony in your daily life.
