yoga with grace

अहिंसाप्रतिष्ठायां तत्सन्निधौ वैरत्यागः

ahimsa pratisthayam tat samnidau vaira tyagah

When non-violence is established, in that presence hostility is given up.

Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2.35

ahimsa = non-violence
pratisthayam = when established
tat = that
samnidau = in the presence
vaira = hostility
tyagah = given up

At first when I read this I thought about how to be non-violent towards others, but then remembered to focus on how to be non-violent towards myself too!

Yoga is one thing that really helps me with that, giving me time to become aware of how my body and thoughts are.

What’s one thing you can do today to be kind to yourself?
