\"yamas\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If we are looking to upgrade our yoga practice<\/a> and explore more fully the spiritual aspects of the yoga lifestyle, then starting with understanding the first of the Eight Limbs, the Yamas or restraints, will offer a helpful foundation.\u00a0 While the concept of \u2018restraints\u2019 sounds a little intimidating, it is important to remember that these are self-imposed frameworks that we can use to help us make decisions and live well, respecting others and showing compassion<\/a> to the wider community. While yoga is not a religion, it can be described as a belief system or philosophy, and the Yamas can be a useful guide to help us reflect on our behaviour and its consequences. Living by the values set out in the Eight Limbs allows us to take yoga off the mat and live it as an embodied practice.<\/p>\n

What are the Yama values?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Here is a list of all of them: ahimsa<\/em> (non-harming); satya<\/em> (non-lying); asteya<\/em> (non-stealing); bramacharaya<\/em> (sexual continence) and aparigraha <\/em>(non-hoarding). Some of these values may initially cause dismay (bramacharaya<\/em> is not about being celibate – don\u2019t panic!), they are all open for interpretation and can be lived<\/a> differently, depending on the individual.<\/p>\n

The way in which these values have been embodied by yogis has changed a great deal over time. Life is very different now compared to the austere existence of a practitioner isolated and meditating on a mountain in India; we can\u2019t really have the same expectations. Let\u2019s take a look at how the Yamas can be applied to modern life.<\/p>\n

Ahimsa – non-harming<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Ahimsa<\/em> is about not harming ourselves as well as others, and it is the Yama that has given rise in yoga to the debate as to whether yogis should be vegetarian, to avoid harming animals. As you can imagine, this Yama in particular provokes a lot of discussion. It\u2019s also important to consider ahimsa<\/em> in terms of not harming others emotionally<\/a>.\u00a0 For example, gossiping about a colleague behind their back would be considered counter to this value, as would being emotionally abusive to a partner. This is one value which is endlessly debatable in the yoga community.<\/p>\n

Satya – non-lying<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Practising satya<\/em> requires tact and diplomacy. We could speak the literal truth all the time but potentially cause a great deal of offence. Does our best friend really need to know that we don\u2019t like their new dress, or that our partner\u2019s first attempt at cooking a new recipe failed miserably?\u00a0 However, speaking our truth<\/a> in life becomes crucially important to our happiness<\/a> if we don\u2019t say what\u2019s really on our minds in relationship discussions, for example.\u00a0 Does our partner\u2019s criticism of our family bother us?\u00a0 Then we need to speak up and state calmly<\/a> what it is on our minds, as clear communication is the bedrock of any successful relationship. Yoga poses that open the throat chakra (vishudda<\/strong>) such as backbends are there to help us open up and say what needs to be said.<\/p>\n

Asteya – non-stealing<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Most of us were raised to understand the difference between right and wrong, and not stealing things from others is a value most of us would agree is a foundation of an honest life. Additionally, it can apply more broadly to our modern world. Taking credit for someone else\u2019s great marketing idea at work is a form of theft, as is Instagramming a photo of our \u2018own recipe\u2019 cupcakes when we know we plundered the whole thing from Nigella<\/a>. Inevitably, the Internet can be a hotbed for stealing \u2013\u00a0I\u2019ve seen wording taken wholesale from various blog posts of my own appearing on other people\u2019s web sites without any referencing, which is a form of intellectual theft. Try to be happy with what you have and don\u2019t appropriate without acknowledgement.<\/p>\n

Brahmacharaya – sexual continence<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Before you panic, there is nothing in the yoga texts recommending celibacy or abstinence from sex. As you may expect from such a non-judgmental and compassionate practice such as yoga, the key to a balanced sex life is about consideration for your partner and your own wellbeing.\u00a0 Sleeping with someone who makes us feel bad about ourselves? Call time on it.\u00a0 Or are we guilty of using someone for our own gratification, knowing that they desire an emotional connection we don\u2019t want to give them? You know what to do. In yoga, sex, like alcohol, should be enjoyed responsibly but can still be enjoyed in great variety and with pleasure!<\/p>\n

Aparigraha – non-hoarding<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Finally, aparigraha<\/em> is very helpful value to keep in mind in our age of shopping at the click of a button. This value asks us to live within our means and not accumulate things we simply don\u2019t need. We may want those new yoga pants<\/a> that have just appeared in our favourite online store, but are they really necessary?\u00a0 We could make a commitment to give away an existing item in our wardrobe for each new one we buy, or make a donation to charity instead of spending mindlessly on our credit cards.\u00a0Aparigraha<\/em> teaches us the value of living modestly in a consumer society and to be grateful for what we have.<\/p>\n

Having reviewed the Yamas, we can start by choosing one to observe for a week and see if this helps us to make good decisions or helps us do better by others.\u00a0 However we choose to work with these values, keeping them in mind can really help us to stop and think carefully about our actions when life decides to test our commitment to yoga.<\/p>\n
