AHIMSA – Hips and Hanumanasana
LESSON ONE Sometimes Ahimsa is translated as “nonviolence,” and that’s a good place to start. We don’t want our yoga practice to be violent on the body. I like to go one step further, and think of Ahimsa not just as the absence of violence, but as the active practice of cultivating loving kindness. In […]
SATYA – Core and Crow Pose
LESSON TWO For me, Satya, truthpractice is all about alignment. In a yoga pose, we might consider whether the alignment of our hips is true and squared, like in downdog with one leg lifted. Off the mat, we may ask ourselves whether our words, thoughts, and actions are all aligned with each other so that […]

I mention nonstealing a lot in our video practice this week, in terms of not “stealing” a pose that doesn’t really belong to you yet; don’t rush your progress; stay the course […]

Aparigraha literally means nongrasping, or open handedness, and it frees us up to receive reality in the present moment. When we unclench our minds and fists from grasping at the past or the future, we […]
BRAHMACHARYA – Twists and Standing Balance
LESSON FIVE Sometimes Brahmacharya is translated as “abstinence.” However, when we break down the word in Sanskrit, it more literally means “abiding in God/Divinity.” So let’s feel into what that means to make a home inside of the Divine; to dwell in the remembrance that we have a spark of the Divine within us. […]
SAUCA – Backbends
LESSON SIX Our first five lessons were dedicated to the teachings of the Yamas. There are 5 Yamas (ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya and aparigraha) and 5 Niyamas. The 5 Yamas can be understood as the rules of Yoga. The Yamas answer the question “what does a yogi look like?” Whenever possible, a yogi does no […]
