What it Means to Live Ahisma and Receive Gifts

What it Means to Live Ahisma and Receive Gifts

by Kit Caelsto | Feb 12, 2023 | Yoga Philosophy

Ahisma is the term for “non-violence” or sometimes it’s referred to as “non-injury” and I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately as to what it means to live in harmony with ahisma. It’s easy to get caught up in the superficial...
Pursing Perfectionism Is Not Practicing Non-Violence

Pursing Perfectionism Is Not Practicing Non-Violence

by Kit Caelsto | Aug 28, 2022 | Yoga Philosophy

Many neurodivergent individuals know all too well the pain of perfectionism. It doesn’t matter whether it comes from anxiety, ADHD, autism, a trauma-response, or even has a name, the never-ending pursuit of perfectionism causes harm. It’s a constant cycle...
Yoga Philosophy: Aparigraha (Non-Attachment)

Yoga Philosophy: Aparigraha (Non-Attachment)

by Kit Caelsto | Jul 10, 2022 | Spiritual Thoughts, Yoga Philosophy

The final of the five yamas, or the first of the eight limbs of yoga is aparigraha, or non-attachment. This isn’t a new idea in Hindu and Buddhist spirituality, though many in the west see non-attachment as living an austere life. They think it means having...
The Yamas: Sense Moderation (Brahmacharya)

The Yamas: Sense Moderation (Brahmacharya)

by Kit Caelsto | Apr 10, 2022 | Spiritual Thoughts, Yoga Philosophy

 Our discussion of the Yamas returns for the fourth Yama: Moderation of the Senses or Brahmacharya. This yama, or rules for living, is based on the concept of “walking in God-consciousness”. In other words, we don’t wish to over indulge our earthly...
The Yamas: Asteya (Non-Stealing)

The Yamas: Asteya (Non-Stealing)

by Kit Caelsto | Feb 28, 2022 | Spiritual Thoughts, Yoga Philosophy

The third rule in the yamas is non-stealing, or asteya. Often when we think about non-stealing, the actual act of theft–stealing something from a store or from someone else–comes to mind. And yet, this focus on tangible objects is only a small part of what...
The Yamas: Truthfulness (Satya)

The Yamas: Truthfulness (Satya)

by Kit Caelsto | Feb 18, 2022 | Spiritual Thoughts, Yoga Philosophy

The second of the yamas is truthfulness, and is known as satya. The Sanskrit word sat means “that which exists, that which is”. The full word, satya, means truthfulness. In other words, reporting and seeing things as they really are, not as our minds tell...

      About Me

      I am a nonbinary (pronouns: they/them), fat, queer, neurodivergent farmer yogi with fibromyalgia who loves supporting chronically ill, neurodivergent, and LBGTQIA+ individuals in a trauma-informed, safe manner so they can find their energetic harmony, feel loved, and learn how to crow & flow! To do this, I use my skills as a yoga teacher, meditation instructor, reiki healer, and harmonic energy worker. We’ll also receive support from my sacred herd of rescue horses and flock of chickens (the inspiration for the Chicken Yogi way). Together, we’ll weave magic, harmony, and fun to lead you on a path so you can discover the bliss which comes from being able to crow your truth and flow with the universe!
