Ahimsa is the first of the Yamas, the ethical foundations of yoga. It means non-harming, and it begins closest to home, with the way we speak to and treat ourselves.

We begin seated, settling into the breath and arriving in the body. From there we move through a soft, unhurried flow, letting breath lead each movement and meeting ourselves with a little more gentleness along the way.

We close with a breath practice using the mantra Aham Prema, - “I am love”. Then you will rest in savasana, held and supported, for as long as you need.

Suitable for: All levels.

Recommended: Two blocks, a bolster and a blanket.
