{ahimsa}

Our first Yama is Ahimsa/Nonharming.

A great start to living your yoga is ahimsa. Living a life of nonviolence means you resist participation in physical and verbal abuse of others, or yourself.

Holding yourself to an unrealistic standard and striving for perfection are forms of self abuse.

Try a little and choose compassion today. First for yourself and then for others.
