What is the true foundation of a yoga practice? It's not flexibility or strength—it's ethics. In this episode, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander explores the first two limbs of yoga, Yama and Niyama, revealing how these ethical precepts are the essential cornerstone for all spiritual and personal growth on the mat and in the world. • Discover how Yama (ethical restraints) and Niyama (personal observances) work together to create a life of integrity, compassion, and mindfulness. • Learn how practicing non-violence (Ahimsa) extends far beyond physical harm to include our thoughts and words. • Explore how finding contentment (Santosha) in the present moment is a powerful antidote to the distractions of modern life. • Understand why a meditation practice is profoundly deepened when it is grounded in strong ethical conduct. • Be inspired to engage with the world from a place of LUCK: Love, Understanding, Compassion, and Kindness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/engaging-with-the-eight-limbs-of-yoga--6741852/support.Stay awake and vibrant with Strong Coffee Company.
