In yogic philosophy yamas are moral / ethical codes we endeavour to live by. Throughout this practice we explore this concept of satya, which roughly translates to truthfulness.

In this video you’re invited to dive deep within yourself, to become curious, to enable yourself to live with satya.

In yogic philosophy yamas are moral / ethical codes we endeavour to live by.
