Brahmacharya: the yoga practice of not eating the whole packet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're up to the fourth yama, and this one gets a rewrite for anyone who isn't a monk or a nun. Brahmacharya used to mean celibacy, a way for renunciates to conserve their energy for the path to enlightenment. For the rest of us, living what Buddha called the middle path, it becomes something more useful: the wise use of your energy. Not restriction. Not indulgence. The practice of noticing where your energy actually goes, and choosing again. This episode uses the humble packet of biscuits to mak
Why Comparison Is Stealing Your Peace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of us hear "non-stealing" and assume we've already got it sorted. We don't take bikes. We don't lift wallets. But asteya, the third of the yamas, goes a lot further than the obvious. It asks where else we take more than we need, more than our share, more than the moment freely gives us. In this class, we explore: Why hoarding, lateness and over-consuming all sit inside asteya The line Gandhi drew between physical theft and "man's greed and craving for artificial needs" Comparison and jealou
Satya: the yoga of truth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're talking truth this week. Not the dinner table kind, the kind yoga philosophy has been pointing to for thousands of years.

We get into the Sanskrit root sat, the difference between the truth that changes
Ahimsa: the yoga practice of non-violence towards yourself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You judge your body every time you step onto the mat. The wobble in tree pose. The foot that will not reach behind your head. This week on Beyond the Diet, we unpack ahimsa, the first of the yamas in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and why non-violence starts with the thoughts you have about yourself before it ever reaches anyone else. We talk about the difference between intention and action, why self-criticism and gossip count as violence too, and the research showing happiness is genuinely contagiou
Santosha: The Yoga Practice of Contentment Explained (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've just started the Niyamas in our Yamas and Niyamas series, and this episode is on the second one: Santosha, contentment. We open with a couple of favourite teachings on contentment, Lao Tzu and the Bhagavad Gita, before getting into the real question underneath Santosha. Why do so many of us live by the "I'll be happy when" mindset, and what does it actually cost us to keep pausing our peace until the next goal arrives? In this episode, we explore: Why desire and goals aren't the problem, b
