Let's Talk Yoga

Contextualizing Ahimsa and Making it Relatable in Yoga Classes


Listen Later

In this episode, Arundhati dives deep into unpacking the living principle of ahimsa in yoga. 

Many yoga teachers understand the principles of ahimsa. But can’t translate it into tangible steps for people who show up in their yoga classes wanting to learn poses. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about what ahimsa really means even beyond yoga. 

The Sanskrit breakdown of ahimsa. 

What it means in yoga. And how its scope expands beyond Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga. 

How to break it down for your students on the mat? Why is that significant?

How to take this “off your mat”? 

How to measure if you’re able to live ahimsa? What are the human characteristics that change , develop or amplify? 

Exploring all this and more in this episode.
