In this episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, Lauren Leduc explores one of yoga’s most foundational teachings: Ahimsa, or non-harming.

While Ahimsa is often translated simply as “be kind” or “do no harm,” the reality is far more complex—especially in modern life.

What does non-harming mean in a world where participation itself creates impact?

This episode offers a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of Ahimsa as an ongoing practice of awareness, discernment, and responsibility, rather than a rigid rule or moral ideal.
