Purity in Practice: Sobriety as a Yogic Path

from On the Mat · host Leah Oren

In this special episode of On the Mat, we dive deeper into our exploration of Saucha (the yogic principle of purity) with a conversation around the practice of sobriety. Today we are joined by our first ever guest on the podcast: Ariana Swartz, a certified health coach and yoga teacher (plus my 300hr YTT roommate!). Together we will look at the intersections of recovery and yoga, discovering how both paths invite us to return to the truest essence of ourselves.Expect a wide-ranging spiritual conversation, from Ariana’s personal experience with recovery and the ways in which yoga supported her path to sobriety (and how sobriety in turn deepened her connection to yoga) to the ways in which practices like asana, pranayama, and meditation can support us in seasons of transformation.Whether you are already walking the sober path, sober curious (like me!) or simply looking to live a life with more energetic clarity, this episode is for you!Follow Leah on Instagram: @onthematwithleahFollow Leah on Substack: https://substack.com/@onthematwithleah Follow Ariana on Instagram: @soberyogifeministDownload this week's freebie: https://on-the-mat.kit.com/9f2883528d
