Mary Beth & Joyce dive deep on the Yamas & Niyamas of yoga. This episode addresses Ahimsa, or non-violence. You might be surprised to look inside and find out how broad the definition of "do no harm" can be! We refer to  "The Yamas & Niyamas" text by Deborah Adele to support the discussion. Come and learn with us!

(Roseann quoted by Sager: all hatred is just fear and all fear is insecurity

(harmony: late Middle English: via Old French from Latin harmonia ‘joining, concord’, from Greek, from harmos ‘joint’. )

("Masks" by Shel Silverstein   
She had blue skin,  And so did he. He kept it hid And so did she. They searched for blue
Their whole life through. Then passed right by– And never knew.)

(*Valerie Bertinelli's brother was 17 MONTHS old, not years.)

Joyce & MB talk about the Modern Yoga community. It includes book club, softball, bowling, and run club, but somehow the conversation turned to gummies, hornets, and celebrities including Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan, the Williams sisters, Tiger Woods, Howard Stern and the Jackson Five… and a visit from Laverne and Shirley at the bowling alley. Please tune in and then, come to yoga! We promise, there’s no requirement to join any of our extracurriculars. (But if you want to…)
