The Niyamas are the basic tenets of our personal growth and development - the practices we should engage in to cultivate our inner self and become enlightened. In this class we explore the first of our Niyamas - Saucha - often translated as purity.
Purity can mean so many things - physically it can mean exercising, sleeping properly, eating healthy, caring for our physical bodies. It can also mean purity of mind, thought and what we put into our minds through our senses - what we read, watch, engage with, learn.
In this practice we focus on purification through full body Yin Yoga with an emphasis on deep twists to support our bodies natural detoxification system.
