160321 Yoga Thoughts

Yama is yoga’s Social ethics, how we practice to get along with each other.

Michael Stone‘s way of looking at these . . .

Ahimsa: recognizing that I am not separate from all that is.  Non-violence

Satya: listening, acting and speaking from the heart in each spontaneous circumstance.  Truthfulness

Asteya: being satisfied with what I have; not taking what is not freely given.  Non-stealing

Brahmacharya: encountering all creatures with respect and dignity; wise use of sexual energy.  Continence

Aparigraha: using all the ingredients of my life without clinging.  Non-possessiveness

How is your asana practice reflecting your yama?  How is your yama out in the world reflecting your yoga?

Live Happy!

Life isn’t always easy and choices aren’t always crystal clear. We don’t always know what we’re capable of.

Clients have been coming to me since 1981 for inside information and side-by-side support on issues from career and finances through relationships and leisure time to health and home life. If it’s part of your life, it’s part of what we can optimize . . . together.

Discover your capabilities!
