Why Ahimsa?
Many people wonder what is Ahimsa? Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term meaning non-violence
(literally: the avoidance of violence - himsa). It is an important tenet of the religions that
originated in ancient India. When we practice yoga, we try to do it in a non-violent way; we
honor our bodies. When we live our lives, we try not to cause harm to any other living being,
including ourselves.
