✨ 8 Limbs of Yoga continued… ✨
After returning from Indonesia & Portugal last year, I drifted from my practice and felt fragmented — forgetting the magic of reality, the sacred gift of yoga, and the wisdom passed down to us. It was like leaving the owner’s manual on the shelf while trying to wing it.
Today, on the mat, I remembered: nothing is missing. 🌿
The third Yama is Asteya (non-stealing). It’s not only about possessions, but the subtle ways we steal from ourselves — rushing, comparing, abandoning the present moment.
This pose (Parsva Bakasana variation) teaches me Asteya every time: if I force or hold my breath, I steal from my body. When I soften and trust, I return to balance and presence.
Grateful for community practices at 🐐💛 — mirrors reminding me that abundance is already here.
➡️ Swipe to see how Asteya weaves through practice, food, nature, and community.
🌿 What would shift if you trusted that you already have enough?
