YOGA PHILOSOPHY JOURNAL PROMPTS​

Yoga philosophy is a deep-rooted part of the yoga practice. Choose one question per week or month to think deeply about. Writing about it will help you to develop the concepts in a deeper, more tangible way.
The first yama (ethical code) in the yoga sutras is AHIMSA: Non Violence.
​How do you incorporate non-violence into your yoga practice AND into your everyday life?
The second yama (ethical code) in the yoga sutras is SATYA: Truthfulness.
​How do you incorporate truthfulness into your yoga practice AND into your everyday life?
The third yama (ethical code) in the yoga sutras is ASTEYA: Non-stealing.
​How do you incorporate non-stealing into your yoga practice AND into your everyday life?
*Think also of asteya as mankind's greed and craving for artificial needs
The fourth Yama in the Yoga Sutras is Brahmacharya: Continence.
​Many people take this to be celibacy, but in the present day where most people marry and have children, we must start to look at it in a different way. I think of it as conserving of energy and life force. Continence literally means self-control/ a holding back. 

How and where to you practice self-control and holding back in your life on and off the mat?
The fifth yama is Aparigragha: Non-coveting.
Where do you hold on to things you do not need? Physically, materialistically, mentally? In yoga class/practice and out?
