I got a little miffed at myself for allowing fear to shake my confidence in moving forward. Miffed because this is exactly why ALL of the modern practitioners of yoga (or at least what yoga has been reduced to) have the position that the yamas and niyamas are not appropriate for the modern world. They are said to be too much.
Patanjali, on the other hand, says of the yamas that they are "the great universal vows, to be practiced at all levels of yoga, not delimited by any conditionality as to species, locus, time, or situation."
Patanjali was rather clear on this topic.
