Ahimsa Yoga Philosophy
You may know that Ahimsa literally means to do no harm. It is often interpreted as nonviolence or the intentional practice of compassion for ourselves, one another and all other beings in the world.
Our teachers are selected for their kindness, integrity, knowledge and openheartedness. As teachers, we remain students, learning from each other and from you, growing in our teaching and our practice.
We apply this wisdom of Ahimsa by intentionally creating a small yoga space, honoring every student with intimacy and attention to each student’s specific needs, approaching students with compassion and understanding, and offering qualities of guidance that do not hurt or injure students or ourselves.
We honor our greater community by opening our space to a variety of workshops serving a diversity of audiences, sponsoring community building events and regularly giving our time and a portion of our income in local charitable contribution. It is our goal that everyone who enters our space to feel fulfilled and supported.
We are thrilled to see this dream come to life and look forward to meeting you!
Namaste’
