Asteya-The yogic ethical principle that is known as non-stealing. I could look to what’s happening in national politics right now and talk about the greed that is leading certain decisions but that would be too easy and creates a distance between our own actions and this principle. I’ve been working on non-stealing since March due to my own actions;this is why we practice self reflection! What did I steal? Material goods? No, nothing like that. There’s a habit that I have (and I know I’m not alone) where I feel compelled to pull others into my version of the truth in a given situation. My doing this robs the other person of the opportunity to figure it out for themselves. There’s that saying, “Divine Inspiration can only come to the Self”, meaning we can’t read it in a book, we can’t find it in a tv show, no one can tell us; it is through our direct experience that we learn, that we truly know the truth of how things are. Attempting to pull someone else along will only create resentment and frustration, interrupting the flow of a relationship. What do we do when this is our pattern? Start by recognizing when we’re doing, apologize to whomever we’re doing it to and reflect on why we feel the need to take such actions. Holding ourselves accountable rather than beating ourselves up so that we can shift these patterns into a more positive way of relating to others, as well as ourselves! That is the goal. Namaste’

I’m so excited at the response to my Yoga Picnic in the Park! It’s been three years since I’ve taught in Buffalo and I’m looking forward to getting back to Chestnut Ridge, where I used to push my kids in their strollers for miles when they were babies.
Since I’ve been gone, I’ve expanded my education by getting certified as a personal trainer and nutrition coach. I took these courses as a way to further support my yoga students so I could have a deeper understanding of how the body moves and what the body needs to properly fuel that movement. I’ve also taken a wide variety of classes in barre, Pilates and primal movement so I hope this training is reflected in how I teach.
I will continue to post here as we get closer to our picnic! Don’t hesitate, register today!
