Exploring Yoga Philosophy: Satya – Truth

The concept of satya, or truthfulness, in yoga parallels the idea of making amends in the twelve-step program, emphasizing the importance of speaking truth while considering potential harm to others.

It's essential to seek input from trusted individuals for a reality check and to convey truth with forethought and restraint to avoid causing harm.
