AHIMSA

We embrace the timeless wisdom of non-violence and strive to create a world where kindness, sustainable peace, compassion for the planet reigns.

AHIMSA, the principle of non-violence, lies at the heart of our living, guiding us to cultivate harmony within ourselves and extend it to all beings and the world around us.

“The path of Ahimsa starts with kindness to oneself, extends to all living beings, and embraces the entire planet.”

“All species have equal rights to feel safe and secure, not just human beings.”

WHY AHIMSA MATTERS IN YOGA

SELF CARE

Ahimsa encourages you to listen to your body's needs and practice self-compassion, allowing you to create a sustainable and nurturing yoga practice.

INNER TRANSFORMATION

By cultivating non-violence towards yourself, you create a space for healing, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

UNITY AND CONNECTION

Ahimsa reminds us that we are all interconnected, fostering a sense of unity and compassion towards all living beings.

PEACEFUL MIND

The practice of Ahimsa in yoga helps quiet the inner critic, bringing a sense of calm and serenity to the mind.

GLOBAL IMPACT

As we embody Ahimsa on the mat, we carry its principles into the world, becoming agents of positive change and peace.

AHIMSA IS NOT JUST THE ABSENCE OF VIOLENCE; IT IS THE PRESENCE OF LOVE AND COMPASSION IN EVERY THOUGHT, WORD AND ACTION.

Ahimsa is mentioned in the first limb of yoga, known as the Yamas. Maharishi Patanjali defines Ahimsa as "non-violence in thought, word, and deed towards oneself and others." It is considered the foundation for all other ethical principles in yoga.

Ahimsa is considered one of the qualities of a wise and realized individual. It is presented as a guiding principle for righteous action, promoting harmony, and fostering a peaceful existence.

Ahimsa should be practiced both internally, by abstaining from negative thoughts and emotions, and externally, by refraining from causing harm to others

Practicing non-violence in all aspects of life helps purify the mind, remove negativity, and expand consciousness.
