This Yoga Sutra 1.3 gets to the heart of Yoga. While the second Sutra, Yogash Chitta Vritti Nirodha (Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind) defines the practice, the third line, Tada Drashtuh Svarupe Avasthanam, explains what that means. Quiet the mind, and the individual returns to their true nature. Only still and clear water may reflect the sky or reveal what lies at the bottom. Poses constitute just one (although significant) aspect of a yoga practice, intended to help one move more toward embodied awareness and find a comfortable meditation seat.
If not meditation, have you incorporated moments of stillness into your life? #wisdomwednesdays #magnoliavillage #seattleyogastudio #yoganeardiscoverypark #discovermagnolia #neighborhoodsanctuary #supportlocal #morethanasanas #neighborhoodyoga #yogaforlife #magnoliachamberofcommerce

Asteya is one of the five ethical pillars of Patanjali’s yoga philosophy, and an important principle in the Bhavagad Gita. Asteya, which also means non-hoarding, teaches us to consume mindfully, and rests on being content with what we already have. It’s nearly impossible to practice true contentment from a mentality of lack. It’s worth noting that Asteya, along with the other four Yama or restraints, is practiced not merely to avoid judgment, but to keep the conscious and subconscious mind clear of samskara (mental impressions) that ultimately get in the way of one’s awakening.
Can you catch yourself in the midst of a “theft” of someone’s ideas, time, or agency? Next time, see if you can catch yourself hoarding, not just food or material possessions, but also credit for work or labor that was shared.

It’s a highly condensed version of — and an excellent primer to — the Intro Series. (This is not a prerequisite for the Intro Series). There will be light snacks and a short break.

Aparigraha encourages detachment from possessions, achievements, and even expectations about the future.
When we practice Aparigraha in our lives, we find fulfillment and happiness within ourselves, rather than being dependent on external factors. We let go of the need to control or cling to things, people, or situations and instead become mindful of our needs, taking only what is necessary, and letting go of what doesn’t serve us.
When we practice Aparigraha on the mat, we let go of expectations and the need for perfection, focusing on the present moment and the practice itself.
How do you practice Aparigraha?

Brahmacharya is not just about sexual abstinence, it also refers to the moderate use of our energy and desires, including those related to food, sleep, thoughts, and consumption.
When we practice Brahmacharya in our lives, we are conserving our energy and channeling it towards self improvement, spiritual growth, our community, and our environment. We make a conscious choice of about what we choose to consume, what we direct our energy and thoughts to, and how we choose to spend our time. When we practice Brahmacharya on the mat, we practice in moderation, balancing between exertion and rest, modifying poses, taking breaks when needed, and avoiding injuries by not pushing ourselves past our comfort zone.
How do you practice Brahmacharya? #brahmacharya #wisdomwednesdays #magnoliavillage #seattleyogastudio #yoganeardiscoverypark #discovermagnolia #neighborhoodsanctuary #supportlocal #morethanasanas #magnoliachamberofcommerce #neighborhoodyoga #yogaforlife

Asteya extends beyond the non-stealing of physical objects. It also includes stealing ideas, time, energy or even credit from others.
When we practice Asteya in our lives, we are being mindful of our resources, people’s time, energy and boundaries, and being mindful of our actions and the impact it can have on others. When we practice Asteya on the mat, we are present, we respect our body’s limits, avoid comparisons, and practice with self-compassion.
How do you practice Asteya? #wisdomwednesdays #magnoliavillage #seattleyogastudio #yoganeardiscoverypark #discovermagnolia #neighborhoodsanctuary #supportlocal #magnoliachamberofcommerce #neighborhoodyoga #yogaforlife #morethanasanas
