EP. 17 | YAMAS & NIYAMAS (PT. 1)

In this episode, Jenna Marilyn opens her notes and takes you inside her reflections on the Yamas — the first limb of yoga’s eightfold path. Far beyond poses or postures, these principles have become her compass, her North Star, the anchor she returns to when faced with choice, change, or uncertainty.

Through stories, sutras, and lived experience, Jenna explores Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), and Brahmacharya (wise use of energy). She unpacks how these teachings show up not just on a yoga mat, but in the everyday moments where compassion, honesty, and discernment are most tested.

This episode is not about rigid rules or perfection. It’s about awareness, intention, and the freedom that comes from having a compass to guide you. A reminder that reflecting deeply is powerful — but you’re also allowed to live, laugh, and enjoy the ride along the way.

✨ Stay tuned for Part 2, where Jenna explores the fifth Yama, Aparigraha (nonpossessiveness), and dives into the five Niyamas.
