There are days when we need some extra support to help us calm the mind and fall into a restful sleep.

This practice aims to offer you that support. So let go, let be and just give yourself the permission to rest. Because you need it and you deserve it.

I found myself answering this question at different stages of my practice and the answer is ever changing and evolving.  Today when I am on the Teacher's seat, people come and ask me why they should practice yoga. There is so much that has been written and talked about the benefits of practising yoga that everyone is more or less aware but they want to hear it and they want something to anchor their faith on before they embark on their journey. And so here is a podcast where I talk about my 'whys' for yoga.

And in the years and times to come, these will evolve and change too but for now I hope it just ignites the spark in you to get on the mat and experience what is the most epic journey you can ever undertake… the journey to your own self.

Why so serious...it is just yoga!! Yes yoga is meant to be effortless and free flowing yet many a times we find ourselves stuck in the practice or put a burden of expectations on the practice. 

In this episode I share few of my experiences & learnings that enabled me to get deeper & more embodied in my practice. Hope these give you a new perspective towards your practice and some food for thought. 

I love to hear from you, so feel free to share your views & thoughts on [email protected]

In this episode we talk about the wisdom of the ancient Latin phrase "Festina Lente" which means hurry but slowly.

I talk about my experience and why this phrase became so relevant to me. Listen to the podcast to know how the practice is to stay grounded and present even in the midst of chaos.

Surya Bhedana is a breath work that activates the Sun's energy in the body. This is a warming pranayama that improves the digestive fire and brings alertness in the body. An ideal pranayama for the winters.

Please do not perform this pranayama if you are suffering from epilepsy, anxiety, high blood pressure, fever or indigestion. If you have any other major health concern, it is always advisable to check in with a certified yoga instructor or your doctor. To check with us, you can write to us on [email protected]

Have an energetic day ahead.

In this episode, we talk about the last Yama - Aparigraha or non attachment or non hoarding. 

Aparigraha, when practised, leads to contentment, fulfilment and freedom, few of the things most of us seek in the modern world.

This is such a relevant Yama in the modern times and if you find the episode thought invoking, then do share it with your friends, family and colleagues. 

Much love to you

In this episode we explore the Yamas called Asetya i.e Non Stealing and Brahmacharya i.e Self regulation. 

We talk about the relevance of these two Yamas in the modern material world and how do we imbibe them in our daily living.

This episode is special because it's been a very very long time since I wrote a poem. I didn't sit down to write it but when the pen met the paper, this one just flowed as if it was always there in me. 

I explore my relationship with the mind in this one, tracing the journey so far. And the journey still continues and gets more fascinating every day. It is not perfect but it is one where I am more aware of moments where the mind wants to boss and take charge. 

A work in progress and always a great place to be. 

Hope you enjoy it. Love to hear from you through our website www.purnayog.com or through the instagram handle purnayog_

This one is unlike any other podcast episode. This is a small poem that I penned down. 

It's special because it was unplanned but when the pen touched the paper it was as if it had been in me forever. 

I go exploring the relationship between me and what I call mine and how it was based on what my mind made me believe through it narratives. All the negative talks, pulling oneself down and then the realisation that it doesn't need to be this way. The journey still continues.. with a little more awareness & attention. 

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed pouring it down.

Satya is about communicating how things are rather than how they should be. It is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principals. 

In this episode we go to explore Satya and also talk a bit about how we can practice it and get more mindful about it. Let's dive deeper to understand Satya as being true to our own selves. 

If you landed on this episode directly, we recommend listening to the previous episode on 'Yamas & Exploring Ahimsa'.
