Which of the 5 yamas of yoga resonates most with you? Which of the 5 yamas can you improve upon? I'm curious to know - drop it in the comments!
these all seem to just be basic values of life. It's a great reminder!
Exactly! These are all so applicable and accessible to everyone, not just the yogis in the house. ;)
Ahimsa resonates most with me. Am I leading with kindness - both with others and myself!
I loved the first one!
@@HeatherEvansCoaching Yes! We can't forget to include ourselves
Love this!! If only we all practiced the yamas more we’d all be happier people.
I think so too! Thanks for watching :)
Love how you touched on the concept of hurting someone even with our thoughts, as this is often where it starts, and then it overflows into words or actions. Great video. Cheers!
I appreciate that you tuned into that! Mindset really is at the root of everything - we must continue to cultivate that self-awareness and self-observance. :)
Wow. Thanks for sharing about yamas. I never heard of this before. I did not have a favorite. I think each Yama is essential for the world today.
They should all be favourites, I agree haha. Hard to pick just one for sure!
I'm about to have my yoga theory exam tomorrow. Your talk beats the two hour lecture I had. Thank you x
I’m so glad you found value in this video and got the information you were looking for. Good luck on your exam ☺️
Same here!! Thanks for these videos!
It's my pleasure, Juliana!
I think not lying is the one I need the most work on! Thank you.
I appreciate your honesty in sharing! Most people forget to consider the white lies that tend to leave our mouths so easily sometimes.. ;)
I LOVE ALL OF THESE!! And they are MAJOR! This is Mastery. Thank you for creating this video. It's so POWERFUL and valuable in our culture. These are the kinds of conversations we need to have. I love it! 💖
Angieee you're such a peach! I agree these Yamas are all such a critical part of being a good person and our culture could certainly benefit from giving these all a bit more attention. Thank you love!
Nice job and appreciate the insight. All about doing the right thing is my motto. I follow the Christian route and it all aligns in a very similar way. Thanks for sharing! 🌺
Yes ma'am - do your best and forget the rest. ;) Absolutely there are alignments with Christianity and other religions/spiritual practices - it's all beautiful
Well done! I practice traditional yoga meditation (I don't actually practice the physical/asana-focused yoga, the kind that's popular rn), so these types of discussions are totally my jam! New subscriber here!
I love that you practice the mental component of yoga! The asanas are such a small part of it. I first got into yoga for the physical benefits, and while I undoubtedly experienced the benefits for the mind while moving my body, I didn't find my way to the spiritual side of it or more purposeful mental practices until a few years later. Everyone's on their own path :) Thanks Tara!
I love your use of the word "Om-ies"
Haha cheers - gotta keep it real with the Omies.
Thanks for sharing the Yamas, I do not practice yoga and was not familiar with them, but I do actually practice all of them. At some point I believe I will start practicing yoga, not really sure why I haven't yet, but I know that when the time is right it will be.
Linda Armstrong Most people practice yoga already without knowing it - there’s SO much more to yoga than just the physical movement! You can practice mental yoga (Raja yoga), spiritual yoga, and so on. :) I encourage you to step on a mat one of these days though, you may just fall in love haha!
@@KingaGorski ❤️❤️❤️
Love your energy 💕
Thanks girl! I got lots haha!
Thank you, it's so helpful!
So glad you found it helpful, Chiesa!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this wonderful lesson.
Yogilachi Truly my pleasure, thanks for watching!
Thank you for your insight. Nice to see some inner health !
That's such a nice way to phrase it - I love me some inner health!
Ooh! Love this video! I’m a fellow Ashtanga lover! Hard to pick because they are all important. But non-violence of any form is probably at the top for me 💕
Oh hey there fellow Ashtanga lover! Agreed, non-violence all the way
Really good video. I might have to look into this a bit more. Thank you for sharing.
I definitely encourage you to dive deeper into these if you feel inspired! Thanks Daniel!
Thank you for sharing this. I use to practice yoga but didn't really know much background information about it.
There is so much more to yoga beyond the physical poses :) Happy to shed some light!
Great info thank you!
I'm happy to share, thanks for watching Jack!
I don't think I can choose one that resonates most with me as all 5 are just so essential in my life. I love this video!
It's tough to narrow down to just one for sure - certainly doesn't hurt to practice all 5! Thank you :)
Yes... there is enough to go around! Love these Yamas. I didn't know about these. This is awesome. Good Spiritual and human principals to follow. Thanks Kinga :) ~Elizabeth
That's one of the many reasons I love yoga - it's so accessible to all with a little break down of the principals :) Thanks Elizabeth!!
Never heard of this before! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear you learned something new :)
Great video!! Can you imagine how awesome the world would be if we all practiced these yamas?! 🙌
A little bit better indeed, one practiced Yama at a time :) Thanks Monica!
I am not familiar with yoga, but am learning from your channel. 🙂
Jill W. Fox Happy to hear that, Jill!
I love learning about Ashtanga. I didn't know any of this. Thank you for sharing. :)
I'm glad to hear that you learned something new! Cheers :)
Lovely video! When I heard you speak about Ahimsa, I feel we often forget the practice of non violence against all beings not only our fellow humans. To me, the practice of peace should include all living beings. Great video and very informational!
That's very beautifully put, and I wholeheartedly agree. Non-violence extends far and wide
First Yama about stealing ideas, time etc is an important concept.
It is indeed! And one that goes over too many people's heads - especially stealing of time and energy!
Ahimsa is the primary yama in all arya traditions, from Zoroaster, Buddha, Jain, Yoga. All universal morals and truths are related and interdependent, and ultimately point to the same, but there is no morality or sharing of truth without ahimsa.
wow, Ashtanga Vinyasa is pretty hard core... impressive!
It's a ton of fun! A great challenge :)
Brahmacharya is the one I will have to work on I guess we always want mote as humans but we need to simplify and be minimalist with what we only need
Hey Ivan! Brahmacharaya is definitely a yoga value that we can all practice a little more of! It's natural for us to want more as humans, and I don't believe that desire in itself is negative. It's only when we take too much that it leaves others in lack, or when we allow our desires to cause us mental and emotional suffering, that desire shows its shadow side. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏
mine would be brahmacharya. I think we live our lives with way to much at this point. Minimalizing what we have will return us to a better place.
I love you chose brahmacharya for yourself - we certainly do live a life of excess at times. I could do with a bit of minimizing too!
I need to get better at ahimsa...sometimes my words can be a bit biting...it's NOT often, but honestly, I know I have to get better at curbing this tendency.
Me too, sister - especially with those closest to us (isn't that often the case..) What's most important is that you're self-aware enough to admit that and THIS is the place from which to take positive action from.
1. Ahimsa 2. Satya 3. Asteya 4. Brahmacharya 5. Aparigraha
The yamas are much older than Patanjali and the order is significant.
1. "No harm" is the primary moral truth. 2. Truth without compromise. Lies harm oneself and others. 3. "Take not what is not given". The corrupt compromise (kindness over truth) harms by lies. 4. Purity of mind, word, and act. 5. Dettachment from possession, identity, and views.
Hey there! No doubt, I'm sure the Yamas (and other Yogic values) are much older than Patanjali. I personally learned about them through this book during my yoga teacher training which is why it's my reference point as a source. Agreed, the order of the Yamas is significant-that said, once a person has become familiar with each of the Yamas in practice, I believe they're then free to hone in on a specific value if they want to cultivate it more specifically. That's the beauty of yoga: it's ultimately a personal practice.
@@KingaGorski agreed. Satya is my path and those I need to work most on I'll keep for myself :) The yamas are discussed extensively by the Jain Mahavira. They're similar (I'd say exactly the same) to the minimal Buddhist precepts that are impossible for an enlightened being to violate. The Buddha's explaination for why these five is interesting: throughout all time, in all cultures, in the past, present, and future, these five are unquestionably blameless and praised by the wise.
nice1 omsz
Thanks for watching!
It's hard to choose one...probably non-excess if I had to choose one :) I am a recovering hoarder.
Hoarder of yoga clothes mainly :D lol
Haha, I too love my yoga clothes - I ain't gonna lie! Although I certainly do make use of all of them week in and week out so I don't feel guilty whatsoever ;)
I'm afraid to do yoga...I think it'll bury me lol
Don't be afraid haha! There are so many different styles - something for everything, I like to think :)
When I witness someone Himsa-ing all over other people, I find it so very hard to approach the situation without being drawn into Himsa myself. Fight Fire With Fire... Takes a wolf to catch a wolf... Or maybe those are limiting beliefs lol XD
How can I tackle and defeat external Himsa without being an asshole!!? If the choice is allow it to go on, or speak up (even if it's in the "wrong" way), Id rather speak up and FIGHT!!
That's great self-awareness - I was like that for a LONG time, and sometimes I still get caught up in fighting fire with fire.. but I've come a LONG way from how I used to engage with people when we were arguing. When I see people "himsa-ing" (lol!) all over other people, I try to gauge the situation - not all battles are ours to fight, but like you said, sometimes you gotta speak up and fight especially for those bigger issues. It's a life long journey and practice to handle disagreements and squabbles with tact and respect, especially when others don't grant you the same decency!
@@KingaGorski Ya I'm done with fighting other people's battles, especially when I'm so damn busy battling my OWN bullshit!!! Maybe I can be more tactful/respectful when confronting MYSELF, when I realize I'm engaging in SELF-Himsa! Thanks for the response Kinga!
nice stuff!! we love yoga in our house! stop by and say hi!!😀😀👍👍🔔lets be friends!
I love that you love yoga in the house, haha! Cheers!
@@KingaGorski thanks friend! have a good day! stay connected
@@BrustFamily You betcha! You also :)
The fact that you mention non-violence without mentioning vegetarianism, not wearing leather etc....picking and choosing i see...
Hi Olivia, it's not that I'm "picking and choosing" as you said, I just didn't list every possible scenario under the sun. People are capable of discerning countless other ways to practice non-violence for themselves. You're right in that vegetarianism is included in yogic practice, even though I know many yogis who choose not to be vegetarian. Non-judgment therefore comes into play here as well.
@@KingaGorski Well mainly what is my concern regarding this is that there seems to be a disconnect between being an actual yogi as in following the commandments and picking and choosing between the commandments or turning them into what suits a 'westerners' comforts.
My main concern therefore is that there is an attempt to take over years of traditions and conforming it into what feels comfortable for someone who has the means to do more. As we live in a culture that actively goes against the yogic way of life there needs to be greater grasp on the commandments, in my opinion of course. As many 'yogis' love to speak about the parts of yoga that are comfortable, moving your body etc...but not frugal living, not going to parties, abstaining from alcohol.
I am simply worried about the fact that this can be misguiding. I have no ill will against you, it's simply a topic I am passionate about, I'm glad you're willing to have a conversation about this.
@@TheMetafysik Firstly, thank you for your thoughtful contributions to this topic - it's clear to see you're passionate! I agree with you that many practitioners of yoga (particularly in the West) "pick and choose" which ideas to follow in their daily lives, however I'm sure that same comment can apply to countless yogis in the East, even in India where yoga originated. I'm sure you could agree that, unless one is a devout and strict yogi, it can be very difficult to follow every single last one of yoga's "rules" for lack of a better word. My goal with this video specifically was to provide a bird's eye view on the 5 Yamas, and is certainly not the end-all-be-all video to refer to, as there's plenty more than can be said about the Yamas than I could account for within a succinct time frame. I believe that if an individual is starting out with just one or two of the yogic philosophies and is putting them into practice in their lives, then that's amazing. Who am I to judge how far along their life/spiritual journey a person is? You never know if those one or two practices are leading them to their own ascension and enlightenment of sorts. As yogis or spiritual educators, we must also be mindful to remove our own "spiritual ego". Someone who sits in lotus post for 10 hours is not a "better" yogi, nor any nearer to reaching Samadhi, than someone who sits for 5 hours. Rather, it's the sincere intention with which the philosophy is expressed as opposed to solely the quantity of elements that are implemented. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on the topic. Namaste.
@@KingaGorski But that's not my point, i'm not judging anyone practicing or using the yamas. What I'm saying is, you have a responsibility as someone who is teaching to include every aspect, or at least those which are in the central teachings (vegetarianism is a huge huge one) as that is what the yamas stand for. Otherwise you're misguiding people. You're not judging people and that is not your place, however as an educator on the subject you definitely could've included the aspects which are of more relevance.
And in regards to how practice differs in the east, yes it can. But not for the same reasons, as i've said prior westerners have the means to choose more freely which practices they want to incorporate into their lives as 1.) they don't live in the culture 2.) less have the means.
Thus it's more important westerners, which your video is speaking to, to learn more about each of the Yamas.
@@TheMetafysik I understand your point is specific toward including vegetarianism in the explanation regarding the Yamas - I myself have been vegan/vegetarian over the years so my non-inclusion of diet in the video was not an intentional avoidance of the subject. There was a lot of content covered in the video so it was a missed point at best. I'm sure that anyone researching the Yamas will come across the inclusion of vegetarianism in many other videos and articles that are available online. Again, thanks for taking the time to share your perspectives.
