Asteya and the Need to Be Right

One of the ways we take from relationships is by prioritizing being right over being connected.

When we are attached to our position, we stop listening. We stop being curious. We stop allowing another person's experience to have validity alongside our own.

Yoga invites us to ask: What am I protecting when I need to be right?

The ego loves certainty. The heart loves understanding.

Self Inquiry: What becomes possible when I value connection more than being right?

There is another side to Asteya (non-stealing) that is rarely discussed: our inability to receive.

Sometimes we reject compliments. We minimize our accomplishments. We rush past moments of beauty. We fail to receive the support that is being offered.

When we do this, we unknowingly steal from the generosity of life itself. Yoga teaches receptivity. Every Savasana is an invitation to receive. Every breath is evidence that life is continually giving itself to us.

Consider this question: What gifts have been waiting for me that I have not fully received?

Perhaps peace. Perhaps love. Perhaps support. Perhaps the quiet recognition that you are already enough.

Asteya asks us not only to stop taking what isn't ours, but to fully receive what is. And perhaps that is one of the greatest teachings of all. What part of myself is ready to emerge if I stop holding it back?

Awakened Heart YTT 2026 - Month 3

Practicing Bhramari Pranayama, or “Bee Breath,” this weekend in our YTT immersion. Named after the black Indian bee, Bhramari involves creating a deep, soothing humming sound on the exhale. This simple yet profound practice has the power to instantly calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, relieve stress, and bring clarity and presence.

It’s been another beautiful weekend of deep practice, heartfelt connection, and meaningful study. Alongside our exploration of yoga philosophy and asana, we are also diving into Ayurvedic lifestyle teachings … learning about how daily habits, nature’s rhythms, self-care, breath, and awareness all work together to support a more balanced and awakened life.

There is something so rewarding about watching the light bulbs turn on as students begin to truly embody these teachings and build the inner foundation from which they will live & teach. The poses become much more than shapes … they become expressions of awareness, compassion, truth, and presence.

It is inspiring for all of us … a true win-win as we open our hearts together- again and again.
