WTF IS Ahimsa?

In this heart-centered episode of The Agile Self-Development Podcast, Helene returns a raja yoga class after a long time away — and is unexpectedly reintroduced to the powerful principle of ahimsa: the practice of non-harming. What begins as a quiet moment in a Raja yoga class becomes a soul-deep reflection on how we treat ourselves. This episode invites you to explore how subtle self-harm shows up in your life — and offers a set of grounding practices to reconnect with your wholeness through gentleness, awareness, and compassion.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

•Ahimsa means “non-harming” — and applies to how we treat ourselves as much as others.

•Micro-harms like self-criticism, guilt-driven choices, and ignoring our needs wear us down over time.

•Self-development is not about pushing harder, but about returning to yourself with love.

•Alignment with ahimsa begins with daily, intentional, compassionate practices.
