About Asteya Yogi

Jessica has been practicing yoga since 2013 after her orthopedic doctor recommended the practice to her in lieu of spinal surgery for scoliosis. From her first yoga class, Jessica became aware of how much stress she held in the body and the need for mindful breath. The liberation provided by mindful breathing in combination with practicing asanas was the healing fix that put her on her yoga journey.

In order to dive deeper into yoga, in 2017 Jessica received her RYT 200 from Lex Gillan at the Institute for Spirituality and Health (ISH) at the Texas medical center. She also completed in person Yin Yoga training with Bernie Clark and Diana Batts in Vancouver B.C. and has half way completed becoming certified to teach Yoga for Scoliosis through Elise B. Miller.

With over 900 classes taught, Jessica continues to develop her ever changing personal teaching style. Classes can be relaxing yet challenging at times. She incorporates mindful meditation and breathing exercises to help guide students to focus on their present moment to assist in strengthening their overall practice.

Sessions are locally operated in Houston, Texas. Jessica is fully certified, insured and trained in various yoga practices giving you a more enriched and deeper journey. Her intentions are to set out and create spaces for yogis to disconnect and go inward, spaces where they feel like they belong.

Who can do yoga? anybody, all you need to be able to do is breathe. Yoga is for everyone and every-body; from beginner to advanced — all levels of practice are welcomed. There’s just one thing missing: You, with a focus on a safe and mindful practice, a yogis’ journey is supported by the best and inspiring yoga instructor within clean and calm environments.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller I had the wonderful opportunity to lead this beautiful couple in a private helipad yoga session. They’re celebrating 7 years together and were absolutely adorable holding each other up and flowing together all while observing the view and the present moment. It was a glorious session for a romantic day. 💐❤️

Yogi Travel Tip ✈️ After feeling jet lagged from long flights, here are some easy-peasy wall yin poses that help reduce stress, release tension and relax your body and mind. You can always incorporate a pillow, blanket or bolster. Placing either item under the head, hips or under your back. Hold each pose for either 30 secs or up to 10 minutes if needed. Do what feels good to you. Just take deep, mindful breaths, close your eyes and maybe shake your head from left to right to massage the base of your skull. Also an option to open your arms out wide like a cross or place your hands on your stomach to feel the breath cycle. Don’t forget to put on music of your choice. Today I went with “We’ve never met but can we have a cup of coffee or something” by In love with a ghost. It’s a sweet beat. 🎶 The name of the wall poses I practiced today are called - Wall Caterpillar Wall Squat Wall Butterfly Wall Straddle Wall Half Butterfly / both sides Wall Arch and Child pose to end (close legged and wide legged) Enjoy! 😉 Music: Winter Foe Musician: Winter Foe Site: https://icons8.com/music/

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali outlined the Yoga practice, also known as “the eight-limbed path of Yoga”. These precepts may be seen as a kind of map for seekers of greater happiness and spiritual fulfillment. The first limb consists of the yamas, or universal ethical observances. The third of the five yamas is asteya, or non-stealing. In laymen's terms this means abstaining from taking things that are not yours. But asteya’s deeper meaning goes far beyond this. It also means not taking that which is not offered, including not just materials but also time, thoughts, energy, emotions and ideas. The implication is that we should refrain from looking outside ourselves for superficial approval to give us the illusion of happiness and fulfillment.

As Aristotle said, ‘Excellence is a habit.’ I would say furthermore that excellence is made constant through the feeling that comes right after one has completed a work that he himself finds undeniably awe-inspiring. He only wants to relax until he’s ready to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has become absolutely trivial. ― Criss Jami, Killosophy

Someone said my name in the garden,  while I grew smaller in the spreading shadow of the peonies,  grew larger by my absence to another, grew older among the ants, ancient  under the opening heads of the flowers, new to myself, and stranger.  When I heard my name again, it sounded far, like the name of the child next door, or a favorite cousin visiting for the summer,  while the quiet seemed my true name, a near and inaudible singing born of hidden ground.  Quiet to quiet, I called back. And the birds declared my whereabouts all morning. - “OUT OF HIDING” BY LI-YOUNG LEE 🎵 Feel It All Around by Washed Out by - I do not own the rights to this song. #yogainternational #internationaldayofyoga #yogisofinstagram #yogapracticedaily #yogaeverydamnday #houstonyogateacher #yogateacher #privateyogateacher #privateyoga

. Them: “i HeArD yOu LiKe To HoLd PlAnK” Me: You know you don’t have to do it right? ( - _ -* ) Did you know that holding plank strengthens your spine, your rhomboids and trapezius, and your abdominal muscles, which naturally result in a strong posture as they grow in strength. Developing your posture can improve on a number of ailments, and prevent the onset of other ones. Good posture means you're keeping your bones aligned. Basically, don’t let them try to push their fears on your progress. I do not own the rights to this music 🎶 Victoria - Nils Frahm

I found that every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear, specific, unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. Some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50 and most never make it at all. - Brian Tracy

. I am her . Anchored by the stars in the open sky, her hips sway to the beat of her own tempo. Her true nature is one of fluidity, emotional expression . Moved by Neptune, the planet of dreams. She is limitless, a giving heart, with no expectation of receiving . In love with her own solitude, the universe within, she reminds us that the bravest step one can take is by way of going inward . Walls down, a soft touch. The hum of her favorite song. Kind eyes. Belly laughter. Coffee conversation at the morning table . Her heart colors outside of its own lines, letting its ink spill onto others’ pages. For she would rather feel this life than be disconnected from it . Knowing that no hands will ever be deep enough to hold her softness, she continues to crack her chest open, leaving it in everything she touches . ~ Danielle Doby

. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both . And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could . To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, . And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; . Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, . And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black . Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way . I doubted if I should ever come back I shall be telling this with a sigh . Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference . ~ Robert Frost

Repost from @asjaboros • Rising from the ashes, you spread your wings to fly . Reaching now for those final dreams, belief will never die . Beautiful and so glorious, the eternal bird of fire . Soaring up into the sun, leaving behind the pyre . Dreams are now your destiny; reach with all your might . You’re a powerful inferno, ablaze and in full flight . Yesterday is over, today has just begun . The sky is now your playground your home is now the sun . Destiny is in your grasp, forget the doubts and fears . Your flame will burn eternally for all remaining years . There will be times of doubt, and moments of pure sorrow . But one thing that is ever true, you’re the angel of tomorrow ~ Dean 2010

A Contented Mind . I weigh not fortune's frown or smile; I joy not much in earthly joys; I seek not state, I reck not style; I am not fond of fancy's toys. I rest so pleased with what I have, I wish no more, no more I crave. . I quake not at the thunder's crack; I tremble not at noise of war; I swoon not at the news of wrack; I shrink not at a blazing star; I fear not loss, I hope not gain; I envy none, I none disdain. . I see ambition never pleased; I see some Tantals starved in store; I see gold's dropsy seldom eased; I see e'en Midas gape for more; I neither want, nor yet abound— Enough's a feast, content is crowned. . I feign not friendship where I hate; I fawn not on the great (in show); I prize, I praise a mean estate, Neither too lofty nor too low: This, this is all my choice, my cheer— A mind content, a conscience clear. . ~ Joshua Sylvester (1563-1618)

Asteya (Sanskrit: अस्तेय; IAST: asteya) is the Sanskrit term for "non-stealing". It is a virtue in Hinduism. The practice of asteya demands that one must not steal, nor have the intent to steal another's property through action, speech and thoughts
