Harmony Within: Nurturing Asteya in Gentle Yoga
Hannelore MoebiusNovember 14 2023 • Duration: 56 Minutes
Embark on a soothing journey into the heart of Asteya, meaning "Not Stealing," in this Gentle Yoga class led by Hannelore. 🌿✨
Understanding Asteya:
Asteya is more than abstaining from theft; it's a profound practice of freedom from craving what others possess. In this session, we delve into the transformative teachings of Asteya, learning to honor boundaries, respect fellow beings, and find tranquility in the abundance of our own lives. Together, we release the grip of competitiveness in our yoga practice, workplaces, and daily existence.
Mastering Asteya:
Asteya is a masterful art, achieved when we cease reaching outside ourselves for unmet needs. The Sutra ASTEYA PRATISTHAYAM SARVARATNOPASTHANAM guides us: "When Non-Stealing is established, all jewels present themselves." These inner jewels are the treasures of bliss that manifest when we live in harmony with Asteya.
