"Não adianta fazer yoga e não cumprimentar o porteiro" (via Danielle Paes Gouveia).
O princípio do "Ahimsa" é o primeiro dos Yamas (prescrições de comportamentos sociais e individuais) do caminho em 8 passos sugerido no Yoga Sutra de Pantanjali, e significa não-violência, nem contra o próximo, nem contra si.
