Hannelore Moebius
November 14 2023 • Duration: 56 Minutes
Embark on a soothing journey into the heart of Asteya, meaning "Not Stealing," in this Gentle Yoga class led by Hannelore. 🌿✨

Understanding Asteya:
Asteya is more than abstaining from theft; it's a profound practice of freedom from craving what others possess. In this session, we delve into the transformative teachings of Asteya, learning to honor boundaries, respect fellow beings, and find tranquility in the abundance of our own lives. Together, we release the grip of competitiveness in our yoga practice, workplaces, and daily existence.

Mastering Asteya:

Asteya is a masterful art, achieved when we cease reaching outside ourselves for unmet needs. The Sutra ASTEYA PRATISTHAYAM SARVARATNOPASTHANAM guides us: "When Non-Stealing is established, all jewels present themselves." These inner jewels are the treasures of bliss that manifest when we live in harmony with Asteya.

Gentle Yoga Class Practice:

* Immerse yourself in the gentle embrace of Puppy stretches, creating a foundation for mindful practice.
* Flow through a sequence featuring a short Down-dog, swinging movements, and rejuvenating joint-openers.
* Elevate your spirit with positive affirmations, fostering a harmonious connection between mind and body.
* Embrace the grounding presence of Moon and Warrior poses, finding stability in Stork and Tree poses.
* Explore Bridge poses with a supporting block and front hip stretches for gentle rejuvenation.
* Experience the serenity of Shoulder stand, delving into the comforting depths of Knee-down-twist.
* Conclude with a blissful relaxation, visualizing yourself in a meadow, sharing space with nature, and reflecting on the essence of Asteya.

Your Reflections:
As you conclude this session, take a moment to reflect on Asteya. How can this principle enrich your life, fostering peace and contentment? May the jewels of inner bliss reveal themselves on your journey. 🌺🧘 #NurtureAsteya #HarmonyWithin #GentleYogaBliss
