Purification (Saucha): How Yoga can encourage a healthy mind & body.

Purification (Saucha): the first of the observations (Niyamas) .It is advisable to listen to "The Yoga Sutras" episode before you listen to this one. In recent years the definition of "purity" within the yoga community has been up for debate because it can be interpreted to mean purifying the body from toxins and "eating clean" etc, but there are so many other (and less harmful) interpretations of this Niyamas.In this episode, Jo talks about how we could be more aware of our consumption of things that we may be relying on to feel a certain way - social media to feel connected, alcohol to feel relaxed etc and how we can observe and change the habits, behaviours or rituals that no longer nourish us. ● Happy Yoga online community● Jo’s Instagram● Join the Facebook group here● Happy Yoga Newcastle website● Newcastle Yoga School website This is a public episode.
