Yamas

Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called "Yamas." Yamas are a part of yoga philosophy, which is a way of thinking about how to live a good life. They're like little guidelines for how we should behave towards others in the world.

There are five yamas, which are basically five rules.

1. The first yama is called Ahimsa, which means "non-violence." This means we should try our very best not to hurt anyone or anything, both physically and emotionally. So we shouldn't hit, punch, or kick anyone, and we shouldn't say mean things that could hurt someone's feelings.

2. The second yama is called Satya, which means "truthfulness." This means we should always tell the truth, even if it's hard. We shouldn't lie, even if we think it might make someone feel better.

3. The third yama is called Asteya, which means "non-stealing." This means we shouldn't take things that don't belong to us without asking permission. We shouldn't cheat or copy someone else's work, either.

4. The fourth yama is called Brahmacharya, which means "self-control." This one is a little trickier, but basically it means we should be in control of our bodies and our minds. We shouldn't take drugs or drink too much alcohol, and we shouldn't watch things that are inappropriate for our age.

5. The fifth yama is called Aparigraha, which means "non-possessiveness." This means we shouldn't be too greedy or selfish. We should share our things with others and keep an open mind.

So, these are the five yamas: Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya, and Aparigraha. They're like a code for how we should treat others with kindness, honesty, respect, and self-control. Hope that helps, kiddo!
