Satya Part 3: Personal reflections and key takeaways

Key Takeaways:

🪽 Satya is not simply “speaking my truth.”

🪽 Satya is not impulse, reactivity, or emotional honesty in the moment.

🪽 Satya is a STATE in which actions and the results we seek align with greater ease.

🪽 When I put energy into something, what comes from it begins to match.

🪽 If results do not align with my actions, something may be out of alignment.

🪽 Sometimes the results I seek may themselves need to be questioned.

🪽 Satya means speaking, acting, and directing energy without ego, distortion, or attachment to outcome.

🪽 When nothing interferes, there is less confusion and more clarity.

🪽 The practice begins with a PAUSE.

🪽 In that pause, I can ask: Am I trying to prove something? Am I trying to please someone? Is there urgency? Is there desperation?Is there ego here?

🪽 We begin to move toward Satya through daily refinement—not by force.

🪽 Over time, understanding deepens and alignment becomes more natural.

🪽 🪽 🪽 The reward of Satya according to the Yoga Sutras: actions and results align with greater ease.

🪽 Your Agency: Where in my life are my actions and results not aligning?

🪽 Question: What might need to become clearer in me before I put more energy into it?

The deeper I go into “yoga”, the more I find happiness in “less”.

The deeper I move into life, the less attraction I have to “more”.

Maybe it is the way life is moving now.

The speed of it. The constant push to do, to become, to keep up with something that doesn’t really end.

The more I see that clearly, the more I feel pulled in the other direction.

Toward less.

Not less, as in lack.
Just… less noise, less wanting, less reaching.

And somewhere here, it starts to feel like —
there is a yoga of simple pleasures.

Not something to practice.
More like subtraction… what remains when everything unnecessary drops.

A kind of yoga of noticing. Of being. Of having enough.

I find myself stopping more. Looking up more.
At something as simple as this — branches, flowers, light, a sky that isn’t trying to impress anyone.

A hot cup of coffee.
The sound of rain.
That quiet moment at dusk when the day hasn’t fully let go, and the night hasn’t entered yet.

Nothing is happening. And yet it feels complete.

In a way, I’ve always known this.
That less holds more.
I never really needed much.

But life — the way it’s shaped around us — keeps nudging you toward expansion, toward doing more, becoming more, adding more.

And for a long time, that feels convincing.

It just doesn’t feel like that anymore.

Now it feels like this.

Just standing. Just noticing.

And I know — from the outside, this could look like something else.

Like a lack of ambition.
Like I’ve slowed down too much.
Maybe even laziness.

I’ve thought that too.

But it doesn’t feel like that from here.

There’s attention. There’s clarity. There’s a kind of quiet engagement that doesn’t push, doesn’t strain.

It’s not the absence of drive.
It’s the absence of restlessness.

And in that absence, nothing feels missing.

If anything… it feels fuller.
Easier. Spacious. Right. 🪽

▽ What’s powerful about the Yamah and Niyamah in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
is what they DON’T do.

▽ They don’t define.
They don’t explain.
They don’t instruct.

▽ They simply name the Yama and Niyama —
and show what happens when they are established.

▽ Everything else
comes from interpretation and lived experience.

▽ Which means—

There is no final definition.

▽ Only something to explore,
refine,
and uncover within yourself.

▽ Nothing to perform.

▽ Only something to observe,
remove,
and uncover in yourself.

•

I’m getting into the habit of calling them Yama and Niyama or better Yamah and Niyamah - because that’s the correct plural way to call them . Not Yamas and Niyamas . Thats cute … like saying “say your Aums” … the S being the English plural addition - and of course absolutely forgivable and OK - but it’s inaccurate.

It’s a night for Ayurvedic golden milk (HALDI DOODH) by .

And no - that’s not the same as turmeric latte

___

I usually make this from scratch myself, but in the absence of ginger at home (shocking), I use Ayursofia’s mix - which already has all the ingredients you need—just add a generous amount of pepper while boiling it with milk.

But if you want to make it from scratch, the recipe is below.👇

🌿 Traditional Golden Milk — Medicinal, not a latte

Haldi Doodh — this is Ayurvedic. Therapeutic. Meant to heal, not to perform.

⸻

🔥 Method (clean + direct)

1. Boil fresh ginger (a generous handful) in water (1 cup) → reduce to ½ cup.
2. Add turmeric (½ tsp).
3. Add crushed black pepper (1 tsp) → simmer ~10 minutes.
4. Add milk (½ cup) → gently simmer (don’t aggressively boil).
5. Remove from heat → add plenty of honey.

⸻

🌱 Optional

* Cinnamon
* Cardamom

Enjoy

YOGA BACK TO BASICS : Ep.6
Yama and Niyama Part 1: Ahimsa

Key Takeaways :

🪽 Triggers will always exist. The PAUSE helps you recognize them before they become reaction.

🪽 Ahimsa is not being nice. It is A STATE that is arrived at thru dissolving and removing inner aggression.

🪽 Most violence is subtle—irritation, judgment, control, impatience. 

🪽 Suppression is not Ahimsa. If tension is still inside, it hasn’t been resolved.

🪽 What you carry internally leaks into how you speak, act, and relate.

🪽 Real practice begins before the reaction fully forms.

🪽 PAUSE and observe:
Is there aggression in me right now?
Am I trying to prove, control, or win?

🪽 Awareness is the first step—but not the last.

🪽 Yoga dissolves triggers by working at the root : through Pranayama, breath (biggest tool) , stillness, attention.

🪽 Yoga : Regulate the system, don’t just control behavior.

🪽 Over time, reactivity reduces, triggers lose intensity, and the system settles.

🪽 This is the self-development arc:
from reaction → to awareness → to regulation → to stability.

🪽 When inner aggression and tension  is removed and dissolved, Ahimsa becomes your baseline. It becomes your Natural State. 

🪽 🪽  🪽 The reward of Ahimsa according to the Sutras : all hostility disappears in your presence.

🪽 Your Agency:
Where can I slow down my breath today instead of reacting?

🪽 Question:
What in me is still reacting—and am I willing to see it without acting on it?

Sometimes through years of practice we never reach the final perfect pose. But we 100% build something else.

What else have you built in your years of Asana practice ?

Much love, Anji
