Brahmacharya in the heart is about balance, honoring our energy, cultivating sacred connections, and trusting our own inner wisdom. When we fall out of alignment through overgiving or seeking outside validation, we can return to center through stillness, breath, and simplicity.

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.

Menstruation is not just a physical process but a sacred time of renewal and release.

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 second Yama asks us to be sincere and authentic so that our actions line up with our values.

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