The questions are suggestions just to get you started, to explain how you bring the Yamas to your life and Yoga practice, please read the articles for they explain each Yamas in detail and will give you more information on the philosophy and how each author has translated this philosophy from the ancient Sanskrit language.
How do you bring:
1. Ahimsa -Non -Harming to your life and Yoga practice
Questions:
Are you non harming to yourself, to others, do you have kindness? Do you have nurturing thoughts or judgmental harming thoughts? Do you “honor your edge” in yoga practice and do you respect yourself and others? Do you treat others with kindness?
2. Satya – Truthfulness
Questions:
Do you tell the truth to yourself, to others, do you tend to gossip? Is your yoga practice truthful, do you do more than your body says it’s OK to do or you practice at a truthful level, where it feels good? Do you” Walk your Talk”, live your truth?
3. Asteya – Non-Stealing
Questions:
Do you take what is not yours, whether its objects, an other’s time or other’s ideas? Do you feel a sense of lack or abundance in your life? Do you use more natural resources than you need? Do you perform postures with too much force or that next variation that you are not ready for? Which is similar to be non-harming and truthful.
4. Brahmacharya – Self Control, Moderation
Questions:
Do you conserve and use your energy wisely in moderation, using just the “right effort ” in life? Do you work too hard or maybe too little and the same in your yoga practice, do you go over the top practicing with too much effort or just right, hopefully not and you honoring your edge?
5. Aparigraha – Non -Possessiveness
Questions:
Do you take more than what you need, use more water, take more food, are you jealous what others have or are you content? Are you able to let go of attachments and not be possessive of thoughts, things or a set way of doing things, are you able to do a posture differently? Are you able to let go of tension or outcome of things?
