In the context of a broader practice

A personal interpretation of the yamas and niyamas

Stunning video, demonstration and monologue from Simon Borg-Olivier



I think what I like about this video (and the one below by Bob) is that it encourages us to reflect (ideally privately) on our practice in a broader context, that of the yamas and niyamas, the world, others...., to step lightly, hold lightly.



Turns out the video was Filmed and edited by our friend Alessandro Sigismondi

UPDATE

Not a big fan of advertising as you know but figured this company had allowed Simon to chat away about the Yama and Niyamas for ten minutes, least I could do was pop over and have a look at their website. Turns out it's a yoga clothing company.... for MEN

The company's name is OHMME and it turn out they have some other videos on their site.
Unfortunately a couple have background music (would have liked Simon's video even more if it were JUST the voiceover) and are asana demonstrations in public places, bit of a turn off for me that but the one below by a UK Ashtangi, Bob "Manoj" Bharij, who works in drug and alcohol abuse, has a voice over like Simon's. This makes all the difference for me, putting the asana in the context of what the practice means to them.
