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. This practice provides some challenging asana (yoga postures), sequences and breathing practices. However, this class is layered to enable you to work to your appropriate level, you are encouraged to be truthful to your true needs and to match your practice appropriately. But how can we apply this concept to physical asana (yoga postures), sequences, breathing practices, relaxation techniques? How can we take this concept off the mat in to our every day lives? 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. Throughout this practice we explore this concept of aparigraha, which roughly translates to non-greed / non-possessiveness / self reliance / non-grasping. Focusing on these qualities can help us to detach from strong feelings and help us live a more content life. But how can we apply this concept to physical asana (yoga postures), sequences, breathing practices, relaxation techniques? How can we take this concept off the mat in to our every day lives? In this video you’re invited to dive deep within yourself, to become curious, to enable yourself to live with aparigraha. …How often do we worry about the fruits of our actions? How successful a project will be at work, how much everyone will enjoy a holiday that has been long planned, how smoothly a wedding that’s been meticulously organised will run, and have we forgotten… …How often do we concern ourselves with the thoughts - Am I successful enough / good enough? Projecting in to the future rather than living in the moment… … How often do we worry about these things. So much so that we forget to enjoy the process… We forget that many poets, artists and creatives were considered unworthy of recognition when they first showed the world their creations. But it’s often when they let go of the need to be praised by other people and let go of the idea that their happiness was determined by what other people think. This is when they could begin to work for the love of it. That’s when they really allowed their passions to come alive. And live abundant lives. “Let your concern not be with your action alone and never with the fruits of action. Do not let the results of action be your motive and do not attach to inaction.” (The Bhagavad Gita) In essence we’re coming back to that phrase “Life’s the journey not the destination.”
