In Season 11, Episode 8 of Yoga Every Day, Steph Schwartz guides you through the third yama asteya to help you shift from scarcity to abundance. When we live with a constant perception of lack, we tend to hold onto physical tension, close off our hearts, and resist the natural flow of life. This session offers a supportive space to release those limiting beliefs and reclaim your innate sense of wholeness.

This 20-minute Hatha yoga practice focuses on the concept of non-stealing in yoga. While we often think of theft in a purely material sense, this ethical principles of yoga framework invites us to look deeper at how we steal time, energy, and presence from ourselves when we succumb to scarcity thinking. By integrating these ancient yoga yamas and niyamas into our physical movement, we can begin cultivating contentment and recognizing the richness already present in our lives. Rather than reaching outward to fill an imaginary void, we learn to find completeness within.

Through a targeted Hatha yoga practice, Steph Schwartz leads you through deep hip and hamstring-focused poses and twists designed to release physical tension and emotional blocks. The hips and hamstrings are common storage sites for stress and the fear of lack; by breathing into these areas, we create space for new, positive energy to flow. This session serves as a practical guide for establishing an asteya daily practice, helping you move past the perception of lack and step into a state of gratitude.
