Today we dive into the next niyama, tapas. In Sanskrit "tap" means "to burn" so we think of tapas as a fiery discipline or passion. In this episode, we chat about the word discipline and how it can feel full of possibilities, rather than a punishment. We discuss how tapas helps light us up and burn away the impurities holding us back, the importance of controlled burns, how tapas involves courage, and more!

“A worthy aim makes life illumined, pure and divine. Without such an aim, action and prayer have no value. Life without tapas is like a heart without love.” – BKS Iyengar
