[Space] to clear the mind and nourish the body.Located in converted loft space in the bustling Mile End, the [ahimsa yoga] studio space offers light, energy, and a look at our ahimsic lifestyle. Ahimsa is one of the five yamas espoused by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras - the primary text on yoga written over two thousand years ago. The yamas outline the yogic path of righteous and ethical living. Ahimsa, considered the most important yama, is a philosophy of total nonviolence: in thought, action, word. Inspired by ahimsa, we aim to keep a completely vegetarian space, to the best of our abilities. As well, plastics represent a further dependence on petroleum bi-products, which irreparably damage the earth with their continued use - a form of violence in and of itself; within our powers, we will create a plastics-free environment, replete with eco-friendly, natural rubber yoga mats for general use.
