What is Satya or Truthfulness? Diving into the second Yama
The Thrive Yoga and Wellness Podcast - En podcast af Jennifer Dixon

Join Jennifer Dixon ERYT 500 and Authorized Ashtanga Yoga Teacher and Merritt Maloof Plumb Energy Worker and Reiki Master for a discussion on the second Yama, Satya. This discussion is absolutely beautiful because it talks about something that is so incredibly dear to us all. What is truth? A ccording to the Yamas Ahimsa and Satya are tightly woven guidelines that should be the foundation by which all yogis base their life. Endeavoring to always live in a non-violent manner towards themselves and towards others but also living a life of Truth. During this discussion, Merritt and Jennifer talk about how Truth, speaking and living in one's truth can manifest itself and how truthfulness, although absolutely imperative, must take second seat to non-violence. As we discuss truthfulness to ourselves, what does remaining true to you mean? How does truth taking second to non-violence make you feel? What is something that is true but may not be in non-violence towards yourself or others?
