Limb One- The Yamas
The first of the eight limbs of yoga is the yamas. The yamas are the physical restraints or ethical guidelines for embarking upon the yogic path.
I want to make something clear. The yamas (really, all 8 limbs for that matter) are to be taken as guiding principles. The truth is, it is very difficult (if not downright impossible!) to uphold these yamas constantly. At best they serve as ideals to aspire toward and to guide our actions. We may have periods of our life in which we are better able to adhere to these principals than others. But as long as we sincerely try our best to live up to these ideals, we are on the yogic path.
So, here we go! The 5 yamas are:
1. Ahimasa, (AH-him-saw) or non-violence/non harming. This applies to other humans and other living creatures, including animals. However, ahimsa goes beyond non-harming of other creatures and extends to the self as well. So, part of practicing ahimsa is to be kind and compassionate toward oneself and others. Practicing ahimsa helps us become more aware of the peaceful qualities of all beings, and it encourages us to honor that peace above anything else.
2.Satya, (sut-TEA-yah) or truthfulness. According to satya, we view and describe the world based on how we want to see it, instead of how it actually is. This may mean that we have to admit when we’re distorting reality to avoid confronting a painful truth. In practice satya may involve speaking an uncomfortable truth with compassion rather than falsely telling others what they want to hear to avoid hurting their feelings.
3.Asteya ( US-tay-yuh) or non-stealing. This includes not only objects, but also time, resources, information, and caring that others provide. In practice, asteya may look life being aware of when someone is generously giving their time, and being mindful not to take advantage of their generosity. It may also involve us “paying it forward” by donating our time and resources to others without expecting anything in return.
4. Brahmacharya (bra-ma-char-E-uh) , or moderation of the senses or appropriate use of vital energy. Brahmacharya involves looking inward for balance, rather than depending on the outer world to satisfy our cravings. That way, we use our energy more wisely for the activities that sustain our inner peace. For example, maybe you have an unwinding ritual at the end of a particularly long hard day-long hot shower & a margarita (I have never done that! *wink...) While it may seem totally innocuous, you might become dependent on this activity for peace and normalcy, such that when you run out of hot water,you feel annoyed for the rest of the night. Consider finding another way to recharge that involves turning inward and withdrawing from the senses- perhaps by dedicating some of that time to a meditation practice.
5. Aparigraha, (a-par-E-graw-haw), non-greed/non-possessiveness. Aprigraha means coveting that which isn’t ours. This coveting nature is rooted in jealousy. Jealousy is fatal to our minds. In today’s social media society, we are consistently seeing everyone’s “highlights reel” not the real and everyday things. We see the make up on, angled, perfected, & filtered photos. We see this constantly, from social media to magazines, to tv commercials to billboards, and it’s so easy to compare ourselves. (Even in yoga class!). Aparigraha, therefore, encourages us to remain non-attached to the external world and remain in the present moment within our sacred mind space.
See if you can integrate all 5 of the yamas this week into your daily life and thoughts!

What's happening to the #yogaworld? 🤔 . Money, power, visibility... Here's what's happening. . Girls with a sense of "yogic" that's at least pathetic, who post daily photos or videos assuming that's yoga what they're doing. High butts showing, evident breasts, panties and bras. Behaviors at least lecherous, all for the sake of visibility. A bunch of self-proclamed gurus who use the promises of yoga to "teach" and possibly slip into his students panties, or wallets. . I mean... Yoga is NOT a remuneration mean, yoga IS an health matter. Yoga is NOT a mean to show your butt, yoga IS a mean to peace, self contentment and love. #asana is not the only thing worth practicing, because it tones the body, but is only one of the #8limbsofyoga. . Don't get me wrong, I know too well that is takes a lot, to arrive till the end of the week, or month. And I know some companies pay well to gain visibility. But it doesn't mean that's the only way to get to the real meaning of yoga. And no, it's not #handstands 🙄 . . . . . . . . This outfit, which I personally recommend to each girl, is by @vayumudra 🙏🏻 you can trust me, it's the best item I've got in my closet. They are part of my #karmamarketing, which means that they're only items I tried and love! 🌺15% discount code, norayogini15 🌺 #vayumudra #itiswhatitis #acceptfear #meditation #compassposevariation #compasspose #practicenotperfection #vayumudratribe #igyogafamily #igyogacommunity #practice #flexibility #takestime #yogaisforeverybody #trusttheprocess #gowiththeflow #loveandalliscoming #onebreathatatime #youcan #yogalove #yogapost #yogastudent #bebrave https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_hHZ6A0T_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b3b2o3lglqwv

Have you noticed that when you have a pain in the body but you are busy doing something that distracts you, you end up forgetting about the pain so you don't feel it? The pain actually disappears when your mind is focused on something else. But when you suddenly remember the pain, then it instantly re-appears! Our minds are powerful! We literally create our reality with our minds! That on which our mind is focused gets heavier and expands, becomes more important than anything else, and everything else in which our mind is not focused disappears. Our senses follow our mind. Wherever our mind goes, our senses follow. If there is a mosquito bite in your arm and you think about it, it itches. If there is a sound outside that you have not noticed and someone tells you about it, you immediately hear it because your mind turns into it. But maybe before noticing it you were so concentrated on a conversation that nothing else outside was perceived. Prathyahara is the fifth limb of yoga. It is the withdrawal of the senses, which helps the mind to be focused. For this purpose we practice asana (yoga postures) and pranayamas (regulation of the breath), because on a peaceful breath and a comfortable and steady posture our mind can be still and not distracted by the outside. When there is no reaction on the mind, the senses are not driven away, and the stillness can be in place. The best moment for practicing Prathyahara is when we are in Savasana. It is through the practice of Prathyahara that we access the last 3 limbs of Yoga called Samyama: Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. If you want to explore a little more about those 3 limbs check my profile and look for the philosophy posts called: #dropsofyogicwisdom #prathyahara #withdrawalofthesenses #ashtanga #8limbsofyoga #yogasutrasofpatanjali #yogaphilosophy

For everyone in class diligently working on developing their transitions to and from seated postures. In either direction, to or from seated, glue the thighs to the abdomen and tuck the knees toward the chest. And repeat...again and again and again. Working to make each attempt better than the last. It will eventually become almost effortless. #niyama3 #tapas #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #eightlimbsofyoga #8limbsofyoga #vinyasa #vinyasayoga #igyoga #yoga #yogatransitions #yogateacher #yogatutorial #yogavideo #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeveryday #detroityoga #michiganyoga #tostillthemindisyoga #payattention #svadhyaya (at Detroit Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwc3GGygBWR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6jkydybbpwvr
