Yogic cleansing
Take good care of yourself this year with some simple yogic cleansing tips.
By Will Lavin
There really is more to yoga than contortions and gymnastics, as evidenced by postures (asanas) being only one of the eight ‘limbs’ of Ashtanga yoga.
Some of these other aspects of yoga are well worth the effort of investigating and offer their own rewards. But they can also be used to keep your ‘yoga’ practice going when life stops you from performing asanas.
For those who over-indulge over the festive season, these cleansing techniques may be just what you need!
Asana practice may not be possible or may need to slow down in circumstances such as:
1. Illness
2. Injury
3. Ageing
4. Life changes (e.g. new additions to family etc.)
