Mastering the Business of Yoga Podcast (M.B.Om.)
The Sanskrit word ahimsa means non-violence and is a central tenet of yoga tradition. Ahimsa is an ethical principle that applies to how we treat others, but it also translates to the way we eat. As yogis and teachers, it is only right that we honor our bodies with nutritious foods. In fact, our ‘7 Ways to Implement Mindfulness in Your Life’ calls on yogis to pay attention to their meals — from the flavor of each dish to the nutritional value it contains.
