The practice of non-stealing (asteya)
अस्तेय, asteya (a-stay-yah), is 1 of 5 yamas in the 8 limbs of yoga. Yamas are a set of observances and guidelines in how to navigate life in how you treat yourself, others, and the living world you live in. Asteya is the yama of non-stealing. But the meaning goes far beyond first impressions and I’m honoured to go deeper with you.

Imposter Syndrome
What started as an offering during a worldwide shutdown slowly faded into the distance as I pondered if anything I had to say was important or useful. Hello, Wanda (my imposter syndrome personified). I’m working hard to dispel the limiting belief system I have about myself and restarting this podcast is one of many things that I intend to embark on to help myself break free. Thank you for joining me on the journey. ◡̈
