Ahimisa - non-violence

What does it mean to practice Ahimsa - non-violence or non-harming?  

A common understanding of this philosophical teaching of yoga is to not intentionally cause harm to any sentient being.  But what about what is more subtle?  In what ways can we practice ahimsa with ourselves and on the yoga mat?  

In February, our community will explore the concept of ahimsa and how it applies to our lives on and off the mat.  

Consider ahimsa this month and join us during our monthly discussion on this topic. 

Submit your essay on this topic to BYS and we'll share it with our community.
