Ahimsa – Non-Harming – Day 2

Good Morning Yogis! We are restarting the limbs of yoga for our daily positive practices with Ahimsa or non-harming. We will focus on the positive of non-harming, or kindness for our practice today.

Today is also our first KISS Day! I learned the KISS Method acronym in the business world as “keep it simple, stupid.” But that is kind of rude, so my KISS Days acronym is “Keep It Super Simple” 🙂

Today’s Daily Yogi Practice is a random act of kindness for today’s Ahimsa/non-harming day. Need ideas? Here’s what we used for inspiration for our intro Ahimsa Day!

• Bring home a favorite meal or treat for a loved one.
• Be extra friendly driving in the car, giving someone the right of way.
• If you can, pay for the order for the person behind you in a drive through. Has that ever happened to you? It happened to my sister, it made her day!
• If we are no longer in the days of social distancing or you are in your household, hold the door open for the person behind you, or help someone who is struggling to reach or carry something.
• Volunteer.
• Give to charity.
• Plant a tree.
• Whatever feels like the right way for you to actively practice kindness and compassion, or to do your small part to make someone else smile, or make the world better today than it was yesterday.

Please comment and share how you decided to practice Ahimsa today. How did it make you feel? Always remember, be kind!
