Bonnicel YogaStop Stealing - Episode 11Maybe you’re thinking that this does not concern you, that you never steal, so why bother??!
The first time I read about this, the third of the yamas; Asteya, I realized that I did indeed steal much more than I thought.
There are different ways in which we can be ‘stealing’. We can steal from others, from the earth, from the future and also, in the end from ourselves 🙏🏼 Another challenging ‘ethical guideline’ from the yoga philosophy to ponder about.
Previous episodes on the yamas:
Episode 3: Non-violence
Episode 6: Truthfulness

Bonnicel YogaSmall steps - Episode 10In this episode I share a few thoughts on the concept of change and how we can deal with it ‘going too slow’.
Often we ignore the power of ‘small steps’ and think it always have to be big in order to be powerful enough to create the change we desire. Hopefully this episode can give you some useful perspective 🙌🏼 . . . . .

Bonnicel YogaEpisode 8 - One of the smartest thing you can do‘You would not let your phone run out of battery. Don’t let it happen to you either.’
How do you recharge yourself?
Our brains are literally not evolved for handling this copious amount of information that we feed it with daily.
When do you give your brain a well deserved ‘time off’?
One of the smartest things you can do, is to begin to incorporate moments when you ‘recharge’ yourself and your ‘battery’. In this episode I give a few suggestions on what you can do.
I’d love to hear what your favori...

Bonnicel YogaEpisode 7 - I was always so angryAs the expression goes; “It’s funny when people think ‘yoga people’ are supposed to be calm. No. We’re all here because we’re nuts!” 😂
This is so true for me. I used to be so angry. I would get angry for the smallest of things.
Yoga is definitely one of the things that has helped me put things in perspective, to change the story I ‘had in my head’.
Yoga has helped me calm the f down 🤬😏

Bonnicel YogaEpisode 6 - Why Do We LieThe second Yama is Satya, or Truthfulness as it’s translated to in English, is not necessarily making life easier to live.
‘Why do we lie? Are we afraid to hurt someone’s feelings? Are we afraid if we told the truth we would not be liked anymore?
This one contains a lot of insights. And struggles as well. And as the author writes ‘truth rarely seems to ask the easier choice of us.’
There are a lot of areas in this one that is worth coming back to. Let me know if there is anythin...

Bonnicel YogaEpisode 5 - Make A ChoiceOne of my favorite themes and that I come back to often is the ‘power of choice’.
Having lots of choices is both a blessing and a curse.
Having too many choices can often drain us. And leave us feel insecure if we’ve done the right choice or not.
Having too few, or feeling we have no choices at all, can leave us feel powerless.
We often forget how much choice we actually have in our daily life.

Bonnicel YogaEpisode 4 - Big TalksI’ve been taught to ask questions. More questions in order to understand better, and to learn more. My mom used to say ‘ask a question and you’re a fool for five minutes, don’t ask and you’ll be a fool for life’.
A few years ago I discovered ‘big talks’ as a concept and I was, as you can perhaps imagine, hooked straight up. I love to use this kind of questions as an icebreaker. To get away from the ‘boring’ ordinary questions and instead go deeper.
Here are a few examples that I mention in the...

Bonnicel YogaEpisode 3 - The first Yama - AhimsaThe 10 ‘ethical’ guidelines according to the yoga philosophy offer practical guidance to ‘make skillful moment-to-moment choices’.
At the end of the day (and at the end of your life) is HOW WELL you have participated in YOUR OWN LIFE - both the ordinary routines and the extraordinary surprises.
Ahimsa, asks us to step lightly, do no harm, and honor the relationship we have with the earth, with each other, and with ourselves 🙏🏼
I hope you enjoy this slightly longer episode, packed full with yogic wisdom on how to li...
