{asteya}

I bet you're going to say you don't do this. Asteya, our 3rd Yama is non-stealing.  And yes, I appreciate that you don't shoplift, but its about more than that. 

At the root of stealing is our dissatisfaction with our own belongings or circumstances.   This can manifest in comparing ourselves to others and indulging in the need for more and more and more.....

Whats the cure? Gratitude. 

Practicing Asteya guides us to see what we DO have. we practice Self-acceptance and compassion to ourselves, and to others.

{humble warrior}

one of my favorites! 

Start in warrior one and check in on your front knee- making sure it's directly over the ankle and pointing straight ahead (can you see your big toe?).

Interlace your fingers behind your back. Push your hands towards the mat finding an arch and then on an exhale bow forward. You can keep hands at your tail or extend them for a strong heart opener.

Drop the head and gaze at the back foot.
