Why do we Skip the Yamas & the Niyamas?

As important as asanas and pranayama and meditation are to a spiritual path, they are actually – and, you may find this hard to believe – the EASIEST part of our practice. Yes, you heard that right. All of that bending and stretching and breathing and mind-clearing are the simple part. The true yogic lifestyle – the one that makes yama and niyama the foundation – is actually a time- and focus-intensive commitment to living a truly divine life.

In this sublime teaching, Sadhviji reminds us that the core…the first two limbs in Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga – yama and niyama – require us to do so much more than just put our foot behind our ear. Watch and listen as she beautifully explains.
