![As a yoga teacher or coach, chances are you are often working with groups. How can you bring a new dimension to the groups and teams that you work with or just make part of, by using principles from yoga? How can yoga help to build a stronger connection with others?
First of all, yoga is a powerful way to cultivate a stronger connection to yourself. All yogic practices aim at ultimately connecting to a deeper sense of Self.
You might think of yoga as a purely individual practice. However, yoga is also about connection.
The ability to connect, to engage in relationships with others, requires the capacity to connect to yourself. We need to cultivate a stable sense of self and a feeling of safety. When we feel safe, we are relaxed and open. This is reflected in the state of our body and mind. It is a state that we can achieve by a regular yoga or meditation practice.
You can also apply the broader yoga philosophy to help build stronger relationships. The Yamas provide a framework of values and behavioral guidelines that you can translate to groups as well. Consider these 5 principles:
1. Ahimsa: Non-violence in thoughts, words and actions is ahimsa. In a group relationship, you can introduce non-violence by setting rules for communication and behavior.
2. Satya (Truthfulness). Satya is violated when there is a lot of gossip in a group or lying in a relationship.
3. Asteya: Asteya means literally ‘non-stealing’ but can be also interpreted as not taking what you haven’t received, earned.
4. Brahmacharya: Brahmarchary is often misunderstood as meaning only sexual abstinence. However, it can be much more broadly defined as non-indulgence. Think of brahmacharya as practicing self-awareness and self-regulation.
5. Aparigraha: Aparigraha, or non-attachment, can be a somewhat confusing theme when talking about relationships, especially close ones. However, a safe attachment means that there is reciprocal and unconditional love and at the same time there is space for autonomy and realistic boundaries.
