Non-Violence in Real Life: The Harm You Don't See — Ahimsa

Have you ever snapped at someone you love and spent the rest of the day carrying that weight? Or pushed your body past its limits and called it discipline? Today we explore ahimsa, non-violence, the first of the five yamas and the first ethical commitment on the eight-limbed path of yoga.

This episode is not about the obvious stuff. It's about the more quiet ways we cause harm, in our words, our thoughts, our actions, and how yoga invites us to look at the whole picture.

Daniela shares her personal agreement with Pedro, her experience as a vegetarian, and three journaling questions to help you explore where non-violence might take root in your own life.

Continuing the series on the eight limbs of yoga.
