1 Hour, 8 Minutes
Welcome to a transformative yoga session where we explore the profound concept of Asteya, meaning "Not Stealing." 🌸💎
Understanding Asteya:
Asteya goes beyond refraining from physical theft; it's about cultivating freedom from craving what others possess. This practice teaches us to honor our boundaries, respect fellow beings, and find contentment in the richness of our own lives. Today, we extend this wisdom to our yoga practice, workplaces, and daily lives, releasing the shackles of competitiveness.
Mastering Asteya:
Asteya is truly mastered when we find fulfillment within, without reaching outside ourselves for unfulfilled needs. As the Sutra suggests, "When Non-Stealing is established, all jewels present themselves." These inner jewels are the treasures of bliss that unfold when we live in harmony with Asteya.
Mixed Yoga Class Practice:
* Begin with gentle Puppy stretches, setting the tone for an introspective and mindful practice.
* Flow through a sequence including Down-dog, swing up, and joint-openers, nurturing flexibility and fluidity.
* Harness the power of positive affirmations, creating a harmonious mind-body connection.
* Embrace the strength of Warrior poses with twists, Sun Salutations to invigorate the body, and explore variations of the transformative Triangle pose.
* Find stability and grace in Stork pose and Seated Twists.
* Ground yourself with Bridge poses, incorporating a block for added support, and front hip stretches.
* Elevate your practice with Shoulder stand, delving into the soothing depths of Knee-down-twist.
* Conclude with a moment of 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 for personal reflection on Asteya. Consider how this principle can bring abundance into your life, fostering gratitude and contentment. May the treasures within illuminate your journey. 🌈🧘 #EmbraceAsteya #CultivateAbundance #YogaJewelsWithin
