When we step onto the mat, we often bring our feelings of depletion, but what if you could actively Practice Abundance through mindful movement? In Season 1, Episode 3 of Exploring the Yamas, instructor Lauren Lewis invites you to shift your perspective from scarcity to fullness.
This 20-minute vinyasa flow for gratitude centers on the yogic principle of Asteya, or non-stealing. Rather than viewing Asteya solely as a moral restriction, this practice reframes it as an active cultivation of sufficiency. By engaging in a thoughtful abundance mindset yoga practice, we begin to examine how we give and take energy, time, and resources both on and off the mat. Through a series of grounding standing poses, this emotional wellness yoga flow encourages you to recognize the wealth of presence you already possess. Lauren Lewis guides you through each posture with clear, mindful alignment cues, helping you connect physical sensations to deeper psychological patterns of holding back or overextending. As you flow through the sequence, you will be invited to observe where you might be stealing from your own peace of mind through self-doubt or unnecessary effort.
