Yamas

One of the most interesting theory lesson throughout YTT in my opinion will be the teaching of the 8 Limbs of Yoga, especially the Yamas. I still vividly recalled it was an exceptionally tough period of my own personal life when that particular theory lesson is conducted. It was from that day onwards, i […]
