Why YamaYoga?
Compiled by the Sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, the Eight Limbs
of Raja or Royal Yoga are a progressive series of steps to purify the body
and mind, ultimately leading the yogi to complete enlightenment. The first,
and perhaps most important of these limbs is the Yamas.
The Yamas are five ethical codes of behavior to be practiced
in word, thought and deed:
- Ahimsa - non-violence
- Satyam - truthfulness
- Brahmacharya - moderation in all things (control of all senses)
- Asteya - non-stealing
- Aparigraha - non-greed
I could not imagine a better set of ideals to strive for when operating a business geared to the enrichment of the body, mind and spirit.
