In the yoga classes this week we have looked into, observed and explored ahimsa - the practice of not harming yourself, others, little creatures as well as big creatures, not harming the nature, the environment, the universe.

Ahimsa is the practice of non harming in speech, thought and action - to turn it around - it is really the practice of self-worth, kindness, self-love and respect. It becomes super duper interesting when we start to observe our-self in every situation - can we step back and re-think how to say the next sentence to make it kinder, how to act in the next moment to make it filled with more respect?

How can we press the reset button and to start to not judge our-self and others so harshly? Everything we do we have learned at some point - a habit or samskara as it is called in sanskrit, and these habits can therefor be re-programmed, re-learned. But firstly we need to acknowledge which of the habits are serving us with goodness, and pick out the ones that doesn't serve us anymore. So have a think, observe, take a breath and step back to see where your samskaras can use a little paow woaw and fresh air in order to more authentically be able to start to practice Ahimsa - non-violence.

Have a feel, try it out, move with the grove of kindness and non-judgement for a while - it might just totally rock your world!

Enjoy
