Study Vibes: Living Yoga – Aparigraha, The Freedom of Letting Go

In this final episode of our exploration of the Yamas, Alexandra dives into Aparigraha, the practice of non-attachment and the quiet art of letting go.
Together, we explore how clinging to outcomes, timelines, and identities often weighs heavier than we realize. Through gentle reflection and personal stories, Alexandra shares how releasing the need to control opens the door to deeper trust, greater freedom, and a life that feels more like you.
We also reflect on how Aparigraha connects to the breath, the heart chakra, and the ever-changing seasons of life, reminding us that true abundance often comes not from holding tighter, but from holding everything a little more lightly.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, heavy, or afraid to loosen your grip, this episode is an invitation to soften, surrender, and find your way home to yourself.

Study Vibes: Living Yoga – Brahmacharya, The Art of Sacred Detox

In this episode of Aqua Vibes, Alexandra explores Brahmacharya, the fourth Yama in yoga philosophy, often translated as moderation or the wise use of energy. While traditionally linked to celibacy, this practice extends far beyond — inviting us to cleanse what clouds our clarity and return to what truly nourishes us.
Together, we reflect on what it means to live with intention in a world that constantly pulls us toward more — more screens, more noise, more numbing. Through personal stories and soulful insights, Alexandra shares how embracing Brahmacharya can feel like a spiritual cleanse — one that clears space for truth, intuition, and deeper connection.
We also explore how this Yama aligns with the third eye chakra, supporting discernment, inner wisdom, and balance. If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, overcommitted, or just plain depleted — this episode offers a gentle reset and a powerful invitation: to honor your energy as sacred.

Study Vibes: Living Yoga – Asteya, Time, Energy, and the Things We Take

In this episode of Aqua Vibes, we explore Asteya, the third Yama in the Eight Limbs of Yoga—non-stealing. But this practice goes far beyond taking what isn’t yours in the physical sense.
Asteya invites us to reflect on how we engage with time, energy, emotion, and presence, and whether we’re operating from abundance or scarcity. Through personal stories and real-world reflections, Alexandra unpacks:
How chronic lateness and overconsumption are subtle forms of stealing
Why living in alignment is an act of respect for ourselves and others
The workplace culture of overworking, and how we can reclaim our boundaries
The energetic impact of scarcity mindsets and fear-based behavior
How Asteya connects to both the root and heart chakras, helping us ground in integrity and lead with compassion
Tune in for a fresh perspective on what it means to live with enoughness—and how Asteya can ripple outward into your relationships, your work, and the collective.
Less grasping. More grace.

Study Vibes: Living Yoga – Satya, The Power of Honest Living

In this episode of Aqua Vibes, we explore Satya, the second Yama in the Eight Limbs of Yoga—truthfulness. But this isn't just about being honest with others. It's about living in alignment with your highest truth and having the courage to stop hiding from yourself.
Through personal reflections and lived experiences, Alexandra dives into what it means to speak and live your truth while honoring Ahimsa, non-harming. Together, we’ll explore:
The physical and emotional toll of self-silencing
Why boundaries are a form of truth in action
The fears that hold us back from speaking up
How Satya is connected to the throat chakra, inviting us to express ourselves with both clarity and compassion
You’ll also hear journal prompts to help you reflect on where you might be out of alignment, and how to reconnect with your inner truth—without shame, force, or fear.

Study Vibes: Living Yoga – Ahimsa, The Foundation is Compassion

Welcome to Study Vibes—a special series on Aqua Vibes, where we will dive deeper into the ideas, philosophies, and practices that shape how we live, grow, and show up in the world.
In this first full episode of our Living Yoga exploration, we begin with Ahimsa—the root of it all. Often translated as non-violence, Ahimsa is a profound invitation to live with more softness, intention, and care—not only in how we treat others, but in how we speak to ourselves, set boundaries, and move through the world.
Alexandra shares her personal reflections on reactivity, toxic positivity, high expectations, and how learning to pause has become a powerful act of compassion. She also explores the ripple effect of gentleness, the sacred pause, and the small but meaningful ways we can embody non-harming in everyday life.
Whether you're just beginning your exploration of yogic philosophy or revisiting these teachings with fresh eyes, may this episode remind you that compassion is not weakness—it’s the foundation of it all.
Next week, we’ll explore Satya—truthfulness—and how living in alignment with our truth is its own form of love.

The surprising role of estrogen and your menstrual cycle
How long-term allergy meds and spore probiotics might play a role
The impact of inconsistent meals and sleep times
What she’s gently trying to support healing—from food to supplements to rhythm
