This week we have been diving into Asteya, the third of Sri Patanjali's Yamas. Asteya is the cultivation non steeling, not taking what is not freely given. This includes the obvious like no bank robbing but also the less obvious don't take peoples time up needlessly, kinda thing.

The third and fourth slides, featuring Maddy (Wednesday 7 am), show the two stages of the Mudra. As we exhale the hands come toward each other and as we inhale the hands come away from each other - at the level of the solar plexus. Do this for 2 to 3 minutes see how you feel. Feel free to report back your findings.👌🏽
