When we hear the word “stealing,” we might think of taking something physical that doesn’t belong to us. But like the other Yamas, Asteya is much more than its surface translation.

In this episode of On the Mat, we unpack the deeper meaning of non-stealing - from the subtle ways we take time, energy, ideas, or opportunities, to the even subtler ways we rob ourselves of presence, purpose, and possibility. We’ll explore what it means to live from a place of abundance rather than lack, and how the practice of Asteya invites us to cultivate gratitude, generosity, and trust, on and off the mat.
