Yamas translates roughly as restraints and covers our attitudes toward our environment. The yamas are:
- Ahimsa (Nonviolence)
- Satya (Truthfulness)
- Asteya (Nonstealing)
- Brahmacarya (Nonexcess)
- Aparigraha (Nonposessiveness)
I realise that at a first glance, you can see a lot of words starting with ‘Non’ – however, these guidelines, or restraints, are not about limiting your life, they are about opening up and living your life. They are about taking ownership of your life.
Which of the yamas are you most interested in learning more about?
