Most people jump straight to 🧘‍♂️ asana 🌬️ pranayama/ breath 🧠 meditation But Patañjali didn’t. He started with the Yamas- the ethical foundations of the yogic path. Because without a stable foundation… higher practices don’t liberate, they amplify. They amplify stress. They amplify ego. They amplify what hasn’t yet been integrated. 🌱 The Yamas are not rules. They are natural laws of harmony. • Ahimsa - are you being kind on all levels? • Satya - are you living your truth or managing it? • Asteya - where is your energy leaking? • Aparigraha - what are you holding onto that’s holding you? • Brahmacharya - what’s draining your life force? Read that again… slowly. 🕊️ Patañjali called the Yamas mahāvratam Great vows. Universal. Timeless. Non-negotiable. Not to restrict you, but to make you trustworthy enough for truth. This Sunday inside The Well (of Bliss) we’re gathering for a live Satsang on the Yamas. Not as theory. But as lived practice. ✨ How to embody them in modern life ✨ How they stabilise your nervous system ✨ How they prepare you for deeper breath, meditation & stillness Which of the Yamas feels like the area where the most growth is available for you in 2026? 👇 COMMENT BELOW share your reflection and join the Satsang this Sunday with us. Come as you are. Leave more aligned. Live yoga—don’t just practice it. 🌿 #yamas #yoga #patanjali #satsang #Bliss

This Sunday we gather to explore the Yamas, the very foundation of the yogic path as outlined in Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras. 📖Patañjali presents the Eightfold Path (Aṣṭāṅga Yoga) as a progressive journey toward liberation (samādhi): 1. Yama – ethical restraints 2. Niyama – personal observances 3. Āsana – posture 4. Prāṇāyāma – regulation of breath 5. Pratyāhāra – withdrawal of the senses 6. Dhāraṇā – concentration 7. Dhyāna – meditation 8. Samādhi – absorption / enlightenment The path does not begin with posture or breath - it begins with how we relate to life itself. What are the Yamas? The Yamas are universal ethical principles that govern our relationship with the outer world. They are not moral rules imposed from outside, but natural laws of harmony. When lived, they create the stable ground required for any authentic sādhana (spiritual practice). Without this foundation, higher practices may amplify ego, bypass wounds, or destabilize the nervous system. With it, practice becomes safe, embodied, and liberating. The Five Yamas 1. Ahimsa — Non-Violence Living in a way that causes the least harm to ourselves and others—in thought, word, and action. 2. Satya — Truthfulness Commitment to truth, not just in speech, but in integrity, authenticity, and self-honesty. 3. Asteya — Non-Stealing Refraining from taking what is not freely given—time, energy, attention, or resources. 4. Brahmacharya — Right Use of Energy Wise stewardship of life force; directing energy toward what nourishes clarity and presence rather than excess or compulsion. 5. Aparigraha — Non-Grasping Letting go of accumulation, attachment, and control; trusting in sufficiency and flow. 💌The Invitation Patañjali teaches that the Yamas are mahāvratam—great vows, universal and non-negotiable. They are not steps we outgrow, but principles we deepen as we move toward samādhi. Before we seek transcendence, we must become trustworthy vessels for truth. ✨ Call to Reflection & Connection ✨ Before Sunday, take a moment to reflect:

What if your week didn’t start on Monday… …but was rooted in truth on Sunday? 🌿 We’re so excited to announce Sunday Satsangs - a sacred space to slow down, gather, and remember what really matters. Satsang (सत्संग) means “association with truth” from sat (truth, reality) and sang (company). It’s the practice of coming together in the company of the wise 🕯️to reflect on spiritual teachings, meditate, share wisdom, and reconnect with Self, community, and the Divine. 🤍 🕉️ Starting next week, we begin a beautiful 8-week journey into Patanjali’s 8-Fold Yogic Path — beginning where it all starts: the Yamas. The Yamas aren’t rules… They’re living principles that guide how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world 🌍 Ahimsa. Satya. Asteya. Brahmacharya. Aparigraha. Each Sunday will be a gentle yet powerful exploration through: ✨ Teaching & inquiry ✨ Reflection & discussion ✨ Presence, connection & truth This is for you if you’re craving: • deeper meaning • conscious community • spiritual grounding • embodied wisdom you can live, not just learn 🌀 Come sit with us. Remember. Return home. 💬 Comment “SAT” if you feel the pull or share which Yama you’re most curious to explore 👇 And if this speaks to you — share it with someone who’d love to walk this path alongside you 🤍
