Ahimsa, the first Yama (moral restraint) of the 8 fold path of Yoga, is defined as non-harming. Listen to your thoughts, are they hurtful, derogatory, bullying? Most likely they can be at times. The practice of recognizing when our thoughts, words & actions are harmful and shifting to a place of kindness and compassion leads us to love ourselves and others more fully. This is Yoga.
