Please join us as Susan Kiskis (Jyoti Ma Devi) shares her knowledge about the Yoga of Ahimsa. Yoga is viewed as an exercise practice in the West. Sometimes it’s referred to as a philosophy. In India, it’s known as the science of life. Through its evolution over thousands of years, this indigenous practice became codified, with its first step being “ahimsa,” non-violence. This discussion will focus on this first step in yoga, its greater understanding on what it means to be a yoga practitioner, and how ahimsa is closely related to the core peace testimony of Quakers/Friends.
Susan Kiskis (Jyoti Ma Devi) is a 300 hour RYT and has taught yoga and meditation for over twenty years. She holds an MS in Global Health and is currently pursuing her MS Sustainable Food Systems. She was named Changemaker in 2023 by the Clinton Global Initiative University and runs The Ahimsa Project, an organization seeking to alleviate suffering through climate change mitigation. She is a volunteer and guest teacher at Kula Kamala Foundation and Yoga Ashram, where she supports the work of her Guruji, Swamini Shraddhananada Saraswati ji.
