It is a core principle in yoga philosophy, teaching us about non-stealing. But it goes beyond material possessions; it's about respecting others' time, energy, and ideas.

Ask yourself: Am I stealing in any form? Materially, emotionally, or intellectually? Asteya guides us towards ethical living.

Embracing Satya in Fitness: Transformational Tips 🏋️‍♀️

Satya, the yogic principle of truthfulness, isn't confined to the mat. It's a guiding light in all aspects of life, including your fitness regime. In this carousel, discover how to infuse your workouts with authenticity, honesty, and transformative power. Let's embark on a journey of mindful and truthful fitness. 🧘‍♂️

Swipe through for insights that will help you integrate Satya into your fitness routine, leading to a healthier and more harmonious relationship with your body.

08/11/2023

In the yoga philosophy, there's a beautiful concept called "Satya," the second Yama, which invites us to explore the profound practice of truthfulness in every aspect of our lives.

At its core, Satya is the practice of truth. It encourages us to be truthful in thought, word, and action. It's about living authentically, in integrity, and in harmony with our deepest selves. Satya is the invitation to be real, honest, and genuine.

Satya calls us to embrace our true selves, the beautiful, flawed, and unique individuals we are. It's the acknowledgment of our inner voice, our values, and our journey towards self-realization. When we live authentically, we honor our own truth and the truth in others.

Truthfulness builds trust, both with ourselves and those around us. By practicing Satya, we create a safe and honest space for our relationships to flourish. It's the foundation for meaningful connections and open communication.

Satya extends to our yoga practice. As yogis, we must be honest with our bodies. We must acknowledge our limitations, both physical and mental, with love and compassion. It's about practicing with respect for where we are today.

Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of Satya is that it's a journey of self-discovery. It guides us to uncover our true nature, to peel away the layers of conditioning, and to live in alignment with our deepest values and desires. It's a path of inner growth and self-realization.

So, why does Satya matter? Because it's a transformative force. It enriches our yoga practice and enhances our lives. It's an invitation to live honestly, authentically, and in alignment with our deepest selves.

As we explore Satya, we invite you to consider how it can shape your practice and your life. How can truthfulness enhance your journey on and off the mat? Share your thoughts in the comments. 🙏

06/11/2023

Let’s dive into the transformative relationship between mindfulness and Satya, the yogic principle of truthfulness.

Satya encourages us to be authentic and truthful, not just in our words but in our actions and thoughts. It's about living in alignment with our true selves.

Mindfulness paves the way for self-reflection. By observing our thoughts and emotions without judgment, we uncover our inner truth.

Being honest with ourselves is a cornerstone of Satya. Mindfulness helps us see when we're veering off the path of truth.

Mindfulness and Satya guide us to align our choices and behaviors with our core values, fostering a life of integrity.

Mindfulness cultivates clear, compassionate communication, an essential aspect of practicing Satya in our relationships.

As we integrate mindfulness and Satya, we create a life founded on truth, authenticity, and inner harmony.

By embracing mindfulness and Satya, we embark on a journey towards living our truth, fostering a life of integrity and authenticity.

The ashtanga, or the 8 limbs of yoga, is an eightfold approach for the development of the consciousness.

Similar to the limbs of the body, they work together in various ways. Each one of them has a proper role, necessary for the right development.

The ashta (eight) anga (limb) consist of:

- Yama
- Niyama
- Asana
- Pranayama
- Pratyahara
- Dharana
- Dhyana
- Samadhi

The first five limbs — from yama to pratyahara — make up the outer aspect of yoga. They are preliminary in nature, laying the foundation for a deeper practice. Whereas, the last three limbs — dharana to samadhi — focus on the inner aspects of the practice, and are integral to spiritual growth and self-realization. These inner aspects of yoga are considered the ultimate purpose of the practice, where one transcends the limitations of the material world and reaches a state of pure consciousness and unity.

The path of evolution requires restraint (Yama), observation (Niyama), and action and practice of all eight limbs. Seeking these in harmony leads to freedom, and a joyful creative life. These eight limbs provide a holistic framework for spiritual and personal development in the practice of yoga, and life.

At Emiko, the ashtanga serve as the guidelines for a more fulfilling and enlightened life. The ashtanga continues to shape Emiko Wellness as a brand.

Did you know about the eight limbs of yoga? Would you be incorporating the ashtanga in your practice? If so, how? Let’s discuss in the comments below!

1⃣ Ditch disposable water bottles for a reusable one.
2⃣ Trade your regular toothbrush for a bamboo one.
