Some yoga teachers believe they should only teach the poses they can personally execute, while others argue that teaching is about more than just demonstration. Where do you stand on this? In this episode, I unpack this common debate and explore five key considerations to help you decide what's best for your teaching journey.Episode Highlights:Teaching from direct experience: Why new teachers should focus on what they know well.Aligning with yoga ethics: How Satya (truth), Ahimsa (non-harming), and Asteya (non-stealing) relate to teaching.Navigating “life happens” moments: Teaching effectively even when facing injuries or major life transitions.The importance of staying just one step ahead of students instead of mastering every advanced pose.Using sequencing and props to expand your teaching skills without feeling overwhelmed.Join our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on Instagram

The fourth step of the Eightfold Path is Wise Action, which focuses on cultivating ethical behavior and harmonious relationships. It involves following the Five Precepts: refraining from taking life (Ahimsa), stealing (Asteya), sexual misconduct (Brahmacharya), false or harmful speech (Satya), and intoxication. These precepts guide practitioners toward actions that promote compassion, mindfulness, and respect for all beings.Wise Action also encourages choosing a livelihood that doesn't contribute to suffering and emphasises selflessness and generosity (Aparigraha), fostering empathy and detachment from material attachments.In your asana practice, reflect on your motivations for action. Are your choices rooted in fear or love, criticism or curiosity? By becoming aware of your thoughts, words, and actions, you can cultivate more mindful responses, aligning your actions with your core values. Recognise that every choice has consequences...your current life is shaped by past actions. Use this awareness to make wise, virtuous choices that promote happiness and well-being for yourself and others.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

The third installment in the Yoga Ethics For Modern Living series, this episode explores the third Yama, Asteya, non stealing, through the lens of Kendrick's beef with Drake, colonization, and conducting oneself with a bit of damn dignity for once.

In this episode, my special guest Jenny Rhodes of Aligned Yoga and I discuss the spiritual aspects of a yoga practice and its importance and benefits.  She shares the story of her personal awakening through yoga as well as tips and suggestions to help the listener establish their own sacred practice. *Correction: Jenny would like to correct the record, that when speaking about the fear around speaking her TRUTH  (SATYA) she referred to it mistakenly as ASTEYA (non-stealing) which in retrospect is so telling, as her story refers to being the thief of her own joy & self-honesty .  Thank you understanding    Jenny Rhodes    https://alignedyoga.net/ Jenny's upcoming Baja Retreat 2024:   https://alignedyoga.net/event/luxury-yoga-retreat-to-baja/   Teachers and Books mentioned:  The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice   by Deborah Adele     https://deborahadele.com/the-yamas-and-niyamas/   Embracing Yoga's Roots   by Susana Barakaraki    Indu Arora    Books and Lectures     https://www.yogsadhna.com/   Melissa Shaw  Mantra and Pranayama teaching   https://www.findyourbreath.net/    Prasad Rangnekar   Yoga Prasad Institute   https://prasadrangnekar.com/    Arundhati Baitmangalkar   Let's Talk Yoga Podcast   https://letstalk.yoga/            Visit www.spiritspeakerspodcast.com for more information.   Visit Patty's Website: www.wingandaether.com or www.pdavispsychic.com   Follow our instagram:  @spiritspeakerspodcast

It's about honouring our bodies and minds, and knowing when to rest.Nischala Joy Devi translates Tapas as living life with zeal and sincerity.

In dieser Folge „YogaWorld Podcast“ geht es um die spannende Verbindung zwischen Yoga und Politik. Zwei große Fragen stehen im Raum: Ist Yoga politisch? Und haben Yogi*nis eine politische Verantwortung? Passend zum aktuellen Schwerpunkt des YogaWorld Journals „Yoga und Politik“ spricht Gastgeberin Susanne Mors mit Cornelia Brammen vom „Yoga für alle e.V.“, die sich leidenschaftlich dafür einsetzt, Yoga zu Menschen zu bringen, die normalerweise keinen Zugang dazu haben. Im Gespräch wird klar, dass Yoga als Praxis der Einheit und Verbundenheit nicht nur philosophisch, sondern auch praktisch politisch wirken kann. Conny äußert ihre Meinung dazu, ob und wie Yogi*nis sich aktiv politisch engagieren sollten und wie Yoga dabei helfen kann, Frieden und Klarheit im Inneren zu finden – und somit auch in der Gesellschaft. In diesem Zusammenhang teilt sie ihre Erfahrungen und Einsichten darüber, wie Yoga für alle e.V. durch strukturelle Präventionsarbeit gemäß §20a SGB V einen gesellschaftspolitischen Unterschied macht. Conny geht auch auf die Herausforderungen ein, die auftreten können, wenn Yoga politisch wird, und wie diese bewältigt werden können. Sie erläutert, wie Prinzipien wie Ahimsa (Gewaltlosigkeit) und Satya (Wahrhaftigkeit) auf politische Themen angewendet werden können und warum Positionierung wichtig ist, um Gewaltlosigkeit wirklich zu leben. Außerdem wird die Rolle von Yoga im sozialen Wandel und in der Förderung von Gemeinschaft und sozialem Zusammenhalt beleuchtet. Zum Ende gibt Conny wertvolle Ratschläge, wie politisch Aktive ihre Energie und Motivation langfristig aufrechterhalten und gleichzeitig auf sich selbst achten können. Dies ist ein inspirierendes Gespräch über die politische Dimension von Yoga und die Möglichkeiten, wie Yoga den sozialen Wandel unterstützen kann.

And the more that you practice it, the more easily it comes.Nischala Joy Devi translates Santosha as when at peace and content with oneself and others, supreme joy is celebrated.Santosha is an agreement of faith that we make with our divine self. We no longer see ourselves in the things that we have or in what we look like, instead we identify with the person within.Yoga is so much more than a down dog or the splits. It's so much more than the physical practice. It goes so much deeper.If you're just joining us, we recommend starting from Part 1 to fully experience the logical flow of these Yogic philosophies.

This episode is Part 4 of our 10-part Yoga philosophy series where we tip toe, take snack bites (whatever you want to call it) into the Yamas and Niyamas. Brahmacharya is the 4th Yama and is traditionally translated to celibacy, but there is so much more to discuss!We go far deeper into these Philosophies inside our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training program over here. If anything within this Yama and Niyamas Series sparks your interest we'd suggest to continue following that spark... you never know where it may lead you!This is what we spoke about during the episodeSexual energy is one of the most natural human states of energy celebrated. Anand Mehrotra says "thinking that Patanjali was asking us to be celibate is ridiculous".Brahmacharya is not just about celibacy but also about channeling your energy and being aware of where your energy is going.It is a state of consciousness where you start to experience things based on their fullest value. When you look at a rose, you no longer label it as merely a rose, you start to look at it differently.Nishala Joy Devi says that Brahmacharya is the art of living a moderate life, but it can be challenging in our modern-day society of excess.If you missed the first three parts of this series, listen to:410: Embracing Ahimsa | The First Step in Our Yamas Series411: Discovering Satya, the Power of Truth | Yamas Series412: The Practice of Asteya in Modern Life | Yamas SeriesIf you loved this episode or have more questions about this, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

This episode is Part 3 of our 10-part Yoga philosophy series where we dip our toes into the Yamas and Niyamas. It's a snack bite-sized dive into philosophy (haha). Satya is the 3rd of the 5 Yamas, and is traditionally translated to non-stealing.We go far deeper into these Philosophies inside our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training program over here.This is what we spoke about during the episodeAsteya is not just about non-stealing of physical possessions. Being late is stealing time. Distracting ourselves where there is no need for distraction is stealing from our own present moment.Nishala Joy Devi translates Asteya as abiding in generosity and honesty. When we are honest and generous, we experience abundance.Asteya tells us not to steal, but as it expands our hearts, it says give. Don't wait for someone to ask. Be alert and never miss an opportunity to give, give, give.Make sure to give to yourself first: compassion, love, acceptance, non-judgment, understanding, forgiveness.

Discover the profound connection between yoga philosophy and mental health in this enlightening podcast discussion. The conversation explores how traditional yogic principles like Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truthfulness), and Saucha (cleanliness) can enhance mental well-being by promoting self-respect and mindfulness in everyday life. Michael and Dr Brendan delve into the concept of Asteya (non-stealing), extending it beyond physical theft to include the conservation of one's time, attention, and energy. Emphasis is placed on the importance of setting boundaries to protect personal energy and prevent burnout, a practice embodied in the principle of Brahmacharya, which focuses on energy preservation. This includes managing how one interacts with technology and social media to maintain mental health and overall vitality. The discussion highlights the role of self-discipline (tapas) in pushing through challenges, the value of self-study (svadhyaya), and the balance needed to achieve personal growth and self-care. The dialogue touches on integrating these practices into daily life, showing how yoga can lead to better self-awareness, enhanced relationships, and a healthier approach to mental challenges.

Yamas are the essential moral principles to practice Yoga. In our western world, we might call these restraints or rules.Asteya is Non-Stealing. It is the third ethical restraint. Steya means unlawfully taking things that you are not entitled to or that don't belong to you. Asteya is abstaining from stealing. This refers to possessions, money, materials that are not yours, but can also include stealing; time, energy, ideas, talents, relationships, achievements, successes or even stealing rights or freedoms. When we analyse what motivates us to steal we see that the act is rooted in feeling a lacking of, not enough or there is a feeling of scarcity. Asteya is to abandon the intention, desire to possess or steal from others and oneself. In order to illustrate the point, we can use the example of Time. Time is important to everyone. Managing not to show up, to be late or run over time is robbing someone and yourself of one of the most valuable commodities we have. Asteya makes us accountable to stick to the agreed schedule whether if it is work, social or family. Or when you are there – work, social or family, you live in the moment, not in the past, future or fantasies or on your phone. When we recognise when we have wandered, not present with those around us, the realisation that you're being a time thief!

अस्तेय, asteya (a-stay-yah), is 1 of 5 yamas in the 8 limbs of yoga. Yamas are a set of observances and guidelines in how to navigate life in how you treat yourself, others, and the living world you live in. Asteya is the yama of non-stealing. But the meaning goes far beyond first impressions and I'm honoured to go deeper with you.

Hello Magical Human & welcome back to Madison Mindset the Podcast

How we can steal from ourselves when we aren't present. Using breath work to hack the nervous system to refocus on n the present moment. ✌

In dieser Folge meines Podcasts befasse ich mich mit einem Thema, das sowohl mein Herz als auch meine berufliche Praxis berührt: die Anwendung des Asteya-Prinzips, des Nicht-Stehlens, im Kontext des modernen Yoga und Internets. Ich teile meine persönlichen Erfahrungen mit dem unerlaubten Herunterladen und Teilen meiner Yogastunden, Workshops und Kursen, ein Vorgang, der nicht nur mein Geschäft, sondern auch mein ethisches Verständnis als Yogalehrerin tiefgreifend betrifft. Wir diskutieren, wie die Prinzipien des Asteya und Ahimsa, der Nichtverletzung, in der heutigen digitalen Ära interpretiert und gelebt werden können. Diese Episode ist ein Aufruf zum Nachdenken und Handeln, um Respekt und Integrität in unserer Online-Yoga-Community zu fördern. Begleite mich auf dieser Reise, um zu verstehen, wie wir gemeinsam eine ethischere, respektvollere und bewusstere digitale Yoga-Welt gestalten können.

Today we are looking at the fifth and final yama of Aparigraha which is probably one of the most profound of the Yamas. It translates as non-greed, non- attachment or non-possessiveness. The literal translation is interesting – the “a” means non, the “pari” means “on all sides” and “graha” means to grab or take. So quite literally Aparigraha means "non–all sides–grab"!The idea of not being possessive or taking more than we need may sound similar to the Yama of Asteya which is non-stealing. So we need to understand the subtle nuances of this particular Yama. The focus here is to let go of our attachments – attachments to possessions, ideas, to outcomes. It encourages us to not only notice when we are taking or using more than we need but to let go of the attachment of that desire, to live in the moment. So rather than it being about the physical attachment to our possessions it is about the mental exercise of letting go.If you would like to get in touch with me you can do so at my website chakra-way.comMuch loveRosanne xx Hosted on Acast.

In this Yoga Philosophy Chat with Alex & Kristen, they sit down and chat about the practice of Asteya, which is the third of the yamas. Asteya refers to non-stealing. They speak about the practices of gratitude and the belief of abundance!Kristen co-leads Sober Girls Yoga Challenges and 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings with Alex on The Mindful Life Practice.

In this episode we are continuing with our mini series of meditating on the Yamas. These are the foundational ethical principles of Yoga. If you think of yoga as just the physical practice you are missing the other 7 fascinating limbs, branches or spokes of yoga.The Yama we are looking at is Asteya, which translates as "non-stealing". There is the obvious meaning of this but within the strictest interpretation of yogic philosophy this means having more than you need, and taking resources away from others. In our softer interpretation we can see this as accumulating too much "stuff", and succumbing to the programming of society that tells us we need to have all the things to show our success, be happy and prove that we are a suitable mate. In this meditation we ask ourselves if we can begin to let go... of stuff, of attachments and invite in an abundance of the aspects of life that we can never have in excess - love, gratitude, joy, laughter, creativity, peace.Much loveRosanne xx Hosted on Acast.

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week I'm talking Yamas and Niyamas. Now obviously I am just skimming the surface with this podcast.  The philosophy that holds the foundation of the yoga practice is everything.  We cannot hold a “steady comfortable pose” if we are scattered in the mind. If are spewing resentment instead of gratitude. If are not upholding the truth that lives in our own hearts.   The (8) Limbs of Yoga are powerful benchmarks that hold me to my truth every single day. The Yamas and the Niyamas spell out the 10 “code of ethics” are valuable for an awakened existence.   Yamas are the attitudes towards others and the world around you. Ahimsa or non-violence: Compassion for all living things Satya or truthfulness: Commitment to the truth Asteya or non-stealing: Not taking anything that has not been freely givenBramacharya or non-lust: Merging with the One Aparigraha or non-possessiveness:  Non grasping     Niyamas are how you treat yourself or your attitude towards yourself. Saucha - cleanliness Santosha - contentment  Tapas - burning passion Svadhyaya - study of the sacred text and of one's self Isvarapranidhama - Celebration of the Divine.   These principles are the backbone of this practice.

When you focus on finding the right people, they'll get the right product to the right people.The three pieces of the puzzle in business are customers, investors, and employees. The most critical piece to the puzzle is the employees as they are the link that will make both the customers and the investors happy. Automation and collaboration are the keys to staying efficient in a virtual environment. Determine which tasks are more appropriate for automation and which will be made more efficient through collaboration. The intuitive side of communication is held back in virtual meetings. Without seeing the body language, so much is lost in the message and the probability of being misunderstood becomes higher.  "We focus more on finding the right people and hopefully the right people will get the right product to the right customer." —  Hadi Radwan See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I  Connect with Hadi Radwan:  Website: https://www.asteya.world/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadiradwan/ Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

He's also a podcaster, and regularly interviews founders on his podcast, the First 100, to learn how those people obtained their first 100 customers. When it comes to family, he just had a newborn, so most of his time is devoted to that.Hadi and his team took a hard look at the the market, and realized that 1 out of 4 people are disabled in their career due to an unforeseen circumstance. Strikingly, 50% of folks are living paycheck to paycheck, and don't even know disability insurance existed.

When we work on investor pitch decks, one of our questions to founders is, "What's your G2M / distribution strategy?" Too often we hear, "Social media", "buying ads", or "SEO". Now, it's not that these channels don't work, it's that it usually requires a ton of upfront capital to even start to figure out what's working and what's not. Capital that you don't have yet, for CAC that won't pay you back for a long time (potentially ever). On top of that, once you do have the keyword or targeting figured out, the platform could change its algorithm overnight, leaving you back at square one. Hadi Radwan's insuretech startup, Asteya, has successfully raised $15 million, processed over $20M in Premiums, and achieved $5M ARR. At the core of their success is a B2B2C distribution flywheel. This model has significantly lower CAC than the aforementioned paths, with higher LTV, and way more control over the outcome. He steps to the mic in this week's episode to share exactly how they've done it. We also learn how his experience from Lebanon, to Boston, to London has shaped his communication style.Find Hadi online:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadiradwan/Find Asteya online:Website: https://www.asteya.world/This episode is sponsored by Miquido - a full-service software development partner that supports companies in building their digital products.

In this episode, we chat about the 8 limbs of Yoga by Patanjali as defined in his yoga sutras.

Ahimsa is non-violence or kindness. Satya is truthfulness and honesty. Asteya is non-stealing. Brahmacharya is celibacy and loyalty. Aparigraha is detachment.Niyama is more of a way you are inside. Shaucha is more like cleanliness or detoxification of our thoughts. Santosha is contentment and self-acceptance. Tapas is devotion, dedication and discipline. Svadhyaya is self-study and self-awareness. Ishvarapranidhana is the practice of surrendering and letting go.Asana is the postures and the poses. Traditionally, there was one Asana and that was sitting cross-legged to meditate and breathe. Then, the ancient yogis continued to create poses in order to sit for longer periods of time with less discomfort.Pranayama can be translated to 'life force control'. Some people call it breathwork. Pratyahara is sense withdrawal as in closing your eyes or blocking your ears.Dharana is focusing or maintaining the thoughts and it's like the beginning of meditation.Dhyana is when you're truly meditating and nothing can interrupt you.Samadhi is when we're in Savasana lying on the ground in full surrender.
