This episode is Part 2 of our 10-part Yoga philosophy series where we dip our toes into the Yamas and Niyamas. Satya is the 2nd of the 5 Yamas.

We go far deeper into these Philosophies inside our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training program over here.

This is what we spoke about during the episode

• Satya translates to truth and integrity. Our thoughts, words and actions gain the power to manifest.
• Many of us have spent so much of our lives trying to please other people that we have forgotten what our truth is and who we really are.
• If you allow a moment to get quiet and peaceful, often it's when the truth will speak to you. Do you actually listen? Do you live that truth out?
• The more you follow and live your truth and show up with integrity, the easier it becomes.
• There's a little bit of magic when you begin something new. And, you have to step outside your comfort zone to experience that.
• If you missed the first part of this series, listen to 410: Embracing Ahimsa | The First Step in Our Yamas Series

This episode is Part 1 of our 10-part Yoga philosophy series where we dip our toes into the Yogic philosophies, starting with the Yamas and Niyamas. You'll realise that Yoga is so much more than just a downward-facing dog.

This is what we spoke about during the episode

• Yamas are the first limb of Yoga. Nishala Joy Devi, an amazing author and Yoga Teacher, translates the Yamas as practices that uncover our true nature.
• Yamas are often described as the "don'ts".
• Ahimsa, the first Yama, is often translated as non-violence. How can you show up with more love, with more kindness, not only for others, but also for yourself?
• Nishala Joy Devi translates Ahimsa as embracing, revenance, and love for all. We experience oneness. With love and kindness, we then experience a connection.
• Listen to our Chakra series: 353: Joy, Pleasure and the Sacral Chakra, 354: Confidence, self-esteem and the Solar Plexus Chakra, 355: Kindness, love, compassion and the Heart Chakra, 356: Communication, truth-telling and the Throat Chakra, 357: Intuition, making decisions and the Third Eye Chakra, 358: Your higher power, something bigger and the Crown Chakra

This is a special episode, we share our 108 Affirmation Meditation from the MerryBody App.

Meditation welcomes mindfulness and focus, and this creates an ideal state for positive affirmation. Affirmations are positive statements that shift negative thoughts. You can use them to help reinforce your desired beliefs.

Meditation and affirmations form a powerful duo for personal growth and wellbeing. Together, they amplify each other's effects, helping to rewire the brain for positivity and resilience. When combined, meditation calms the mind and cultivates focus, while affirmation welcomes self-confidence and motivation.

Our MerryBody Members are loving this meditation, hear what some of them are saying about it.

“I just completed the Feel Good Yoga class and finished off with the 108 affirmations, so good” - Jo

“This morning my body still felt quite tired, normally I would have chosen a Yin class, but instead I pressed play on Nadi Shodhana pranayama and then the new meditation in the MB app, 108 affirmations (amazing! I highly recommend it).” - Allie

“I just did the 108 Affirmations meditation. I feel so good now, your voice is so calming” - Irene

“I just did 108 affirmations meditation too! How empowering is it?! So uplifting.” - Tiina
