The Eight Limbs. (n.d.). Eight Limbs of Yoga. Retrieved May 2, 2014, from http://www.yogajournal.com/basics/158 Yoga is composed of eight limbs. The first limb is Yama. Yama is focusing on our ethical standards and conducting ourselves in a positive manner. There are five Yama’s, the first is Ahimsa. Ahimsa teaches us to develop the ability to be compassionate to ourselves. The second Yama is Satya. Satya encourages us to accept that we are not responsible for someone else’s emotional reactions. Asteya is the third Yama, which literally means not to steal. Robbing people of opportunities and independence are forms of stealing. The fourth Yama is Brahmacharya. Brahmacharya teaches us not to expend energy on activities that do not contribute to developing our potential or that interfere with good relationships. Aparigraha is the fifth and final Yama. Aparigraha teaches us to benefit our community by sharing our resources and only using what we need at this time.

The Adverse Childhood Experiences study, also known as ACE’s, was a huge breakthrough for preventative health care research. The partnership of Kaiser Permanente and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) produced one of the largest studies ever conducted to explore associations between childhood maltreatment (chronic and toxic stress from early adversity) and health and well-being throughout the lifespan. The study involves the data from over 17,000 participants collected from 1995 to 1997 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Although the study’s main findings were aimed at influencing the health care system, there remains a multitude of important implications for the treatment of trauma and how yoga may be an integral part of that care.

Several years ago, I was a deeply committed practitioner of yoga. From about 2010-2014 I was doing yoga religiously three to four times a week, travelling from Brooklyn to high-end yoga studios across Manhattan, going away for yoga retreats during the summer, and attending various yoga workshops led by prominent yoga teachers. As I advanced in my practice, I started to be more aware of niche brands for yoga attire and ended up being “one of the yogis” by wearing well known and often very expensive yoga clothes and using certain products for yoga practices.

The benefits of Yoga are endless. It effects the human mind and body in a variety of ways. Roughly 15 million Americans practice yoga, annually there is an expected increase of twenty percent in participants in the United States ("Yoga Statistics"). While Yoga is often thought of as a practice that involves circus like poses and seemingly impossible flexibility; it not.
