94. Yama: An Embodiment Journey Through The 8 Limbs Of Yoga

<p><strong>Yoga is far more than a physical practice. It is a path for how we live, how we relate, how we work with the body and breath, and ultimately, how we understand the mind.</strong></p><p>In this first episode of <strong>An Embodiment Journey Through the Eight Limbs of Yoga</strong>, we begin with <strong>Yama</strong> — the first limb and the ethical foundation of the yogic path.</p><p>Together, we’ll explore the five Yamas: <strong>Ahimsa</strong> (non-violence), <strong>Satya</strong> (truthfulness), <strong>Asteya</strong> (non-stealing), <strong>Brahmacharya</strong> (moderation), and <strong>Aparigraha</strong> (non-attachment) — not simply as ancient teachings, but as living practices that can shape the way we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.</p><p>Through philosophy, reflection, embodied meditation and journaling, you’ll be invited to move beyond understanding these teachings intellectually and begin exploring how they can be experienced and lived in everyday life.</p><p><strong>This is Day 1 of an eight-part journey through the Eight Limbs of Yoga.</strong></p><p>Days 2–8 are available to <strong>Blooming Spirit Podcast subscribers on Spotify</strong>, or you can explore the complete eight-day course with me on <a href="https://insig.ht/4N8nnWJjb6b" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>Insight Timer</strong>.</a></p><p>Have your journal nearby, find somewhere comfortable to settle in, and let’s begin. 🌿</p><p><strong>Nola Bloom</strong></p><p>🎵 <em>Music by Chris Collins</em></p><p>🌿 Thank you for joining me on The Blooming Spirit Podcast.If this meditation nourished you, please consider leaving a 5-star review—your support helps this work reach more hearts and bring more calm into the world. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟</p><p>✨ Explore more offerings at <a href="https://www.bloomingspiritjourneys.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bloomingspiritjourneys.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>—including yoga &amp; meditation sessions, women’s ceremonies, and sacred products to support your journey.</p><p>🎧 Follow me on <a href="https://insighttimer.com/bloomingspirit/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> for premium meditation courses and free LIVE online meditations.</p><p>🌸 For personal support, I offer <a href="https://www.bloomingspiritjourneys.com/1-1-sessions" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 private s
