Truth can be powerful…and complicated. In this episode of On the Mat, Leah explores Satya, the second of the Yamas from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Building on the foundation of Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya invites us to live with honesty, integrity, and clarity in our thoughts, words, and actions - but never at the expense of compassion.

We’ll explore how truth is shaped by perspective, how it can evolve over time, and why living in alignment with what’s real (not just what’s comfortable) is one of the most courageous aspects of the yogic path. From setting boundaries to skipping a pose that doesn’t serve you, Satya asks us to show up truthfully, for ourselves and others.
