Ashtanga Yoga, the 8-fold path as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, was the subject of my recent mentoring circle for the Sukha Mukha studio teachers in training.

Mentoring is very dear to my heart as I love inspiring others and supporting new yoga teachers on their path of transmitting yoga knowledge.

So Satya.

Beng the second of Yamas (control/restraints/behaviour conduct), Satya translates as “truthfulness” or being true to your heart.

We all know what truth is and why we are to adhere to it. Simple and very old knowledge.

So what about Satya from a teacher’s perspective?
