So despite living in an urban environment, I'm actually generally less concerned about break - ins than I am about other hazards because, 1) we are busy and despite our best efforts to
move through the world mindfully, there have been instances where we have accidentally left something on, 2) we live in a side - by - side condo and more humans means more potential for hazards.
The highest intention of the yoga - asana practice is that it be a training program for how to
move gently,
mindfully, and nonviolently
through the
world, so it stands to reason that when we prioritize our own well - being in our yoga practice, we are learning to put the well - being of ourselves and others at the forefront of our consciousness... and this is the heart of Ahimsa.
