Ahimsa is translated into non-harming in thought, word, and deed. It is the very first Yama in the ethical disciplines of the yoga practice. Ahimsa sets the foundation for the yoga Yamas and helps prepare your mind and body for your asana practice and meditation. While it seems straightforward, non-harming can be a tricky principle to cultivate. In order to practice ahimsa, we must first hold compassion for ourselves and others. Holding compassion, building understanding, and moving through fear or powerlessness are all aspects to consider when practicing ahimsa.Join Sarah as she dives deeper into the topic of non-harming and provides examples on how to cultivate this practice both on and off your yoga mat.Interested in learning more about the yoga practice?

Ashtanga yoga is a set sequence of postures with multiple, progressing series. In a traditional ashtanga Mysore class, students learn the postures one by one and only move on to learn more once they have developed a solid understanding of their current postures. This creates a very personalized practice where students can move at their own pace and receive direct feedback from their teachers.While ashtanga yoga has grown in popularity, Sarah's experience with the practice is far from the traditional path, at least at first. In this episode, Sarah reviews the ashtanga yoga system, the tristhana nethod, and personal account with the ashtanga yoga practice. Learn how she went from a less conventional ashtangi to an apprentice in the Mysore style of ashtanga yoga teaching.
