Ahimsa means non-violence towards oneself and all living creatures; an attitude of universal benevolence; the spontaneous expression of the highest form of love; the complete absence of violence from mind, body and spirit.

Yogahimsa is my version of traditional yoga practise and all its beautiful philosophy. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras mentions ahimsa as the first step towards spiritual enlightenment, so whilst we move more than the ancient yogis ever did in their mediation practice, perhaps we’re not too far behind in this modern yoga, honouring kindness as one of our virtues on the mat.
