Part of the eight limbs of yoga include both a healthy relating to ourselves, and a healthy relating to others. The yamas refer to the outer ethical codes and are the foundation of the eight limbs.⁠ As we practice yamas, we invite ourselves to show up as kind agents of change. 

Within the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the Yamas are the outer ethical codes and foundations of the eight limbs, made up of five yamas. 

​♥️ Yamas ♥️
  1. Ahimsa (Kindness/Non-Harming)
  2. Satya (Truth/Deep Listening)
  3. Asteya (Non-stealing/Generosity)
  4. Brahmacharya (Care for Others)
  5. Aparigaha (Impermanance/Letting Go)

The Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School has built our yoga teacher trainings with a foundation of ethical ways of relating to ourselves and others. 

Please share your thoughts & reflections below!
