Brahmacharya, often translated as “walking in the path of the sacred,” reminds us to use our energy wisely and live in alignment with higher purpose. From early human restraint to modern mindfulness, it calls us to balance, moderation, and reverence for the sacred within everyday life.

Nourishment is one of the greatest gifts you can give your body during the menstrual cycle. Gentle foods and warming spices create balance, ease discomfort, and restore vitality with every meal.

Asteya, the practice of non-stealing, is not only about how we treat others but also how we care for ourselves. We steal energy when we breathe without awareness, rush past the present, or doubt our own inner wisdom. By honoring breath, presence, rest, and self-trust, we return to the heart’s natural abundance and live in harmony with ourselves.

Asteya, the third yama of yoga, is often understood simply as “non-stealing,” yet its depth reaches far beyond material possessions.

Satya teaches us to live from the heart with courage and honesty where truth, compassion, and non-judgement set us free to fearlessly walk forward with our lives.

The menstrual cycle moves like the seasons, shifting from the quiet of winter to the fullness of summer. By embracing each phase as part of nature’s rhythm, you align your life with balance, creativity, and renewal.

We’ve been sold the lie that half-breaths are enough, that we can survive without really inhaling life. But every deep breath is a homecoming, a rebellion, and a way to fill the temple of the body again.

The Yamas in Ayurveda are timeless principles that guide us toward harmony with ourselves, others, and nature.
