July Class - Asteya


Insights and comments by our participants from the 7/12/09
Foundations of Yoga class held at Neighborhood Yoga in Boone, NC.

Asteya (Non-stealing, Integrity)

  • In difficult times we may have a tendency to pull in.
    But this is the time to be generous - to give. It is a practice of our generosity.
  • This Yama (non-stealing) overlaps non-attachment
  • Stealing someone elses time or interrupting are forms of taking.
  • Consider the 3 second rule.
    Wait 3 seconds after someone is done speaking before interjecting your thoughts.
  • Align your actions with your good intentions
  • Have no hidden agenda. What you see is what you get.
  • Authenticity over authority
  • The integrity people percieve you as is your honorability
  • Do the best you can do without taking situations or others for granted.
  • Look at it as giving rather than not taking.
    Like other Yamas - consider their opposites.
