IYTA Teachers Open Forum: Practicing Asteya - A Community Conversation on Non-stealing in Yoga and Life
TUE OCT 14, 9 - 10 AM EDT

What does it mean to live in abundance, free from the need to take what is not ours—as a teacher, a practitioner, and a human being?

Join us for the Third Series of our open discussions exploring the Yamas and Niyamas through the lens of lived experience.

In this open forum, we’ll explore Asteya (non-stealing) as a living practice of integrity and trust. Together we’ll reflect on how we cultivate a sense of inner completeness and how this manifests as respecting the resources, energy, and creations of others in our lives and teaching.

Thoughts and Questions to Contemplate....

· How does the concept of Asteya translate from the physical act of not stealing to more subtle forms, such as stealing someone's time, energy, or ideas?

· In a world of constant digital content and inspiration, how do we practice Asteya as yoga teachers and students in relation to intellectual property and creative work?

· When we feel a sense of lack or "not enough," how does that feeling lead us toward a mind of stealing, even if just subtly? How can our practice help us cultivate a sense of abundance?

· What is the relationship between Asteya and trust? How does our personal practice of non-stealing impact the trust we build within our communities and with our students?

· Think of a time when you truly honored another person's space, time, or work without feeling a sense of desire or envy. What did that feel like?

All Integral Yoga teachers are welcome, no matter your years of practice or experience.
