5 Yamas

I was able to get it!!!! Thank you Jennilee for sharing your wisdom.

I was able to watch the Introduction but could not get the class, it was blank. Any suggestions? Thanks Mary Jane

Thank you Jennilee. Really enjoyed your description of the Yama's. Great job!

Thank you, Jennilee!

Lovely Jennilee! Thank you! Esther

Problems with the video???

Down to earth discussion - thanks dear one!

Thank you Jennilee, wonderful talk :-) xx

Thank you Jenneee! You always speak in such an engaging way. Thank you for sharing this talk! Great start of my day, I'll keep it at heart today.

I am unable to view the class?

Wonderful, thank you Jennilee!

A really inspiring talk, Jennilee! Absolutely loved the story of the farmers and the cow.....and totally identified with the desire/greed for the yoga pants :-( - a lot to think about in all this! Many thanks, as always.

Nice , good explanation ! Thank you Jennilee , Mimi

Thanks Jennilee! So looking forward to exploring and learning with you all!! All my love, Christine

Thank you Jennilee! That was really inspiring. Namaste (and your tank tops are always the cutest on web! ;))

It always feels good to have a talk about the Yamas. It is a nice way to have a Yama check up, to be aware of our thoughts and actions.

Thank you!

Jennilee the story was helpful in its practical application of the yamas and you are an amazing story teller. I loved all the accompanying actions you did !!!! hope you do more talks about almost anything! because listening to you is fun, inspiring, and just makes me want to continue my yogic journey x

Thanks Jennilee, I really enjoyed that - looking forward to doing the classes now :-)

I really appreciated how you explained the Yama's in respect to the "Urban" yogi-it makes it all possible - great examples- thank-you for your thoughtfulness in this presentation! I am inspired to live in alignment of these!! Very helpful!

I actually got goosebumps from this. What a great lecture! Namaste.

Dag 1 was geen probleem, maar de les van vandaag kan ik niet openen...

Nice explanation for the modern world. Did have problems getting the video to come up also.

Wonderful introduction! I'm currently undertaking my yoga teacher training, and as I am coming to the end of my course these videos are ideal revision for me ! Thank you!

Explained so well!

Nicely explained, thanks for sharing, I have learnt something today!

Oh Jennilee ~ your authenticity and light are always so inspiring, your videos/sequences always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing your joy and light. Namaste.

Super nice! Thank you!

Many thanks for sharing with us your passion for the 5 Yamas in the modern world!! Namaste

This was such a great explanation! Thanks Jennilee, your talk makes me want to learn more. I teach at an inner city high school, where we had no less than 5 physical fights between students occur today. Am now thinking about how I could pass some of these ideas onto my teenage cherubs....

Hi Jennilee - so glad to have you in Ekhart, my favourite yoga site for practice. I love your energy and enthusiasm which I remember from seeing one of your videos some years ago. Today's talk was a great introduction, you have an easy way of making things simple and accessible. Thank you and Namaste!

A recurrent theme I see in my life is when I think I really want something and I must have it right away, an impulsive purchase for example, I often feel regret afterwards realizing I didn't need the object as much as I had thought and maybe spent money I shouldn't have. Where as when I stop and breathe through an impulsive thought of buying, I can then reflect on wether or not having that thing will actually benefit my life in some way, then I ask, can I find it second hand? Can I make it myself? Can I fix an old one? Can I find something similar at a cheaper price or made in a more sustainable earth-friendly way? Then when the answers come, I feel so much better about my purchases and I know I am spending my money consciously in line with greedlessness. I'm finding myself making these conscious decision more and more and on simple things like toiletries, food, toys, homeschooling material and furniture! Thank you making sense of these simple decisions!!

Inspireret, thanks!

I am excited to begin this journey.

Jennilee, your energy and joy come right through my computer screen. Love it!

Very enjoyable talk Jennelee. It was more like an informal chat really and demystified the 5 Hamas for me, making it seem more plausible that I will be able to incorporate them into my daily life. Thank you so much.

Thank you Jennilee, for the so informative time; you presented in a very simple, descriptive and "dense" way the yamas; great work!

Is there a video about Niyamas?

Brilliant! So well explained!

Fabulous explanation x

?

It was beautiful to listen to you with your great positive point of view! outside it's snowing Crans Montana Switzerland, everything is calm and beautiful as your talk today! Thanks a lot, Namaste!

Loved how the yamas are explained and simplified here

thank you so much. Beautifully explained, Jennilee!

Thankyou Jennilee for sharing your knowledge, i now have a deeper understanding of the 5 Yamas. I also enjoyed the story and looking forward to more, Ber

Very interesting I will always try put in to practice thank you Jennilee

Thank you Jennilee.

I love this intro, even though I find truthfulness challenging. I so want not to hurt others that I often tell them what they want to hear - not always because I am such a kind martyr but through pride, that I don't want them to think ill of me. This was a gentle reminder. I didn't feel judged, it was just loving and kind. Thank you. And I loved the story about the cow!

Thank you for explaining so succinctly the Yamas ,your understanding and passion for the content are clear. I loved the cow story , it really brought to life the idea of being honest/truthful without harm.

Mooi inspirerend begin!

Your enthusiasm and sincerity make me smile and inspire. Thank you x

I could view it now!

Cannot get this to play ;(

Is there something wrong with this file? I tried do download it to watch, and I tried watch it online, but I only get 40 seconds in and then it doesn’t show more ... ??

In the spirit of true staya Jennilee...I enjoyed this. I also love a good story...more power to the cow!

Loved it I have a better understanding now can't wait for the next session.

thank you )

great talk. Thanks

Thanks you so Michele for your talk, so clear and inspiring.

This was very helpful when I was studying for the written exam for my 200 hour teacher training last Fall. I decided to undertake a refresher by participating in this series. Thank you for your enthusiastic overview!

Thank you for a beautifully simple yet relatable narration of some rather difficult concepts! looking forward to the programme!

Thank you. I enjoyed your talking.?

Hi, lovely lesson! What tips would you give to me that I have never fasted before? Thank you! Namaste

Hi Jeniliee, I watched your video recently and it made me think...On one hand I truly came to appreciate your example in a sense that i.e. if truth has a potential to hurt it should be spoken with softness. But the example, however well meant, about the neighbour who did not reveal where the animal went, even though he knew exactly where it was, made me remember what I learned about truth in religion studies, when I was a kid-teenager. So called half truth -when I conceal a part of the information, that is available to me, because I make personal decision that the information I posses may hurt someone- is still a lie. True non violence would have been to reveal, where the cow went and find a way how to save it. This example invites people to think it is ok to i.e. only tell a friend, who asked me directly if I saw her husband in a morning-to answer that I saw her husband today morning and maybe forget to mention I saw him kissing another woman. I remember this half truth = lie lesson very clearly, as my boyfriend at the time then admitted some small half truth /lies. It was very good -freeing for him and for our relationship. I know this video is old and there is probably small chance of rerecording it or having actual discussion but...well I wanted to share my take on it nonetheless. Thanks, Dana

Hi, I think most of us have tried one yoga class or a youtube yoga video but a friend asked me if I practice yoga and that question led to me doing some research on yoga and in particular the 8 path and Yamas and I was struck by the similarity of the philosophy to a slimming program I am following and whilst my nutrition has improved my personal growth in mind and the physical needs support to flourish I wanted to bring more regular yoga into my life and found this forum after a Russel Brand video talked with so much passion about how Ashram Yoga helped with his addiction . With food I now recognise the need for Yamas 1. Cleanliness -gives us the ability to recognize the habits we have picked up in our life that no longer serve us meaning I know I over eat and drink and I am working on this but like Russel I want to seek an alternative to zoneing out on excess of over eating and drinking. 2. Contentment to appreciate what we have and what we are, right now again this video was helpful with the concept that I may desire those yoga pants but I don't need it. 3 Discipline ‘burning enthusiasm’ with food I am doing better making better choices but I need a diversion from wanting wine everynight a habit formed during lock down I wish I could desire but not need any tips to help with this would be helpful. 4. self-study practicing self reflection I keep a journal and would love any quotes or yoga ideas to help me on my journey to better health I am overweight, tired, stiff and in pain5. feel empowered in daily life I want to shine radiate peace happiness and calmness

Thank you!
