On the Mat: The Practice of Compassion

The Yoga Sutras urge us to practice non-violence. Ahimsa can help relieve the grip of negativity on our body, mind, and heart. But by using our asana and breath to proactively infuse our tissues, thoughts and actions with compassion in the very places where we suffer, we can transform ourselves. We then see ourselves and the world through the lens of this great kindness.
