Reflecting on Satya- truth. This is the second principle of yoga.

Being clear that what we are saying is the truth, rather than being based on false judgment or misconception or exageration. Gossip is a good example of this.

Can we begin to notice when we speak confidently about something that is not actually based on truth? It has been anticipated, expected or imagined. What we say is distorted by our wants and needs, rather than accurate knowledge of the situation.

Right thought, right speech and right action are the basis of mindfulness. They are also integral to this yogic principle Satya.

Silence is always a good option. It gives us a moment to breathe and to notice what sensations are happening in the body. Speech then arises from this silence and this clarity of awareness.

In our Asana practice we can have many moments of spaceousness to breathe and feel. This helps us to carry out right action in the limbs, muscles and bones.
Yogic principles are embodied as well as lived.
