Satya Truthfulness | Quarantine Yoga | Yoga Philosophy | Young Yoga with Sylvia (60 Minutes)
In this class, I will continue to guide you back to this ancient wisdom from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, which is the 2nd Yama "Satya" while we are moving on the mat so that you can take it off the mat into your daily life.
Satya is truthfulness, honesty to ourselves, and others. It’s very similar to ahimsa. We want the truth in our thoughts, speech, and action.
Like when you are doing a posture, we really need to be truthful with ourselves. Sometimes our egos will push us to do more than we should or more than our bodies really want us to. We think well we live in this culture where pushing ourselves is kinda a norm. we are always expected to do more, work harder, and make progress. If we are not progressing fast, we will push ourselves harder. This ends up putting us in poses that aren’t really authentic to our bodies. Maybe we have an injury that we are not acknowledging or we are not practicing ahimsa with. Maybe sometimes we need a gentle practice but you just think you have to stick with power yoga. So figuring out what you honestly need and being able to have an honest conversation with yourself is very important for creating a sense of balance.
Being very authentic and sincere in the way you live, the way you present yourself, and the way that you say to people, that’s really powerful cuz you have this strong trust within yourself. You know the thoughts that you are going to speak out that you really mean, the words that you say to people that you really mean. And you actually do what you really mean. So this gives you a powerful and grounded feeling cuz you know that you are not going to pretend and be all over the map. So your word is strong when you practice Satya.
Satya is practicing truthfulness. Satya is about living our truth. It is that simple. there are as many ways to do this as there are people who practice Satya and no one can tell you how you should listen for and find the truth within yourself. It makes sense to talk things over with someone you trust but the point of the discussion is to come closer to your truth not to leave someone to relieve you of the responsibility of discerning your truth. For some of us, it is a long road back to our own truth because we live in a culture and within which truth is a rare commodity.
