Overview

Ethical living is sourced in personal values and lived experience. When groups of people come together, they must agree to shared values across varied experiences.  This is the heart of ethics.

As yoga practitioners, teachers, and yoga therapists we have already absorbed the Yamas and Niyamas.  These are not just position statements. They are threads from which we weave our personal fabric of ethical living. For example, how do we practice discipline/ self-sacrifice and without depleting, hence harming ourselves? How can ongoing self-discovery/ svadhyaya create new realizations of surrender to something larger than our own experience?

Our yoga-world must interface and integrate with other professions, including the health care complex, therefore we must speak the language of yoga, the language of science/health care, and from our personal experience.
