In this episode, we explore the principle of self-concept and distinguish it from self-image. While self-image focuses on how we perceive our external qualities, self-concept delves deeper into the core of our identity—how we understand and relate to our inner being. We discuss practical ways to examine what drives us, uncover our motivations, and use this self-knowledge as a foundation for meaningful personal growth.

In this episode we talk about samskaras, which are habits, tendencies and habitual processes that drive our actions and behaviours. Some of these can be beneficial and some can be detrimental, but both create ruts of repetitive behaviour, which can be addressed and changed if desired. We talk about the whole concept of samskaras, what they are, how to identify them, and the steps that can be implemented to adjust or eradicate them.

The lotus flower is a symbol frequently used in yoga. You will no doubt have seen it on yoga imagery, imbedded in mandalas, as part of diagrams for philosophies such as the chakras and almost certainly inked onto yoga instructors' skin! But what does it really represent and what can the principles of the lotus flower teach us? We discuss this topic in depth in this week's episode.

In this episode we discuss Somatics - a practice that can enhance the connection between the mind and the body for improved overall health and well-being. It involves multiple elements such as movement, sensing, and awareness to improve physical and mental well-being by re-educating the nervous system and addressing habitual patterns of tension or movement. Emma even includes a 10 minute sample practice, to give our listeners a taste of what somatics can include. It is very simple to incorporate into every day life, exercise and yoga and the benefits can be astounding.

This episode explores the art of reducing future suffering—particularly the kind we unconsciously create for ourselves. By cultivating awareness, we gain the power to recognize and lessen the unnecessary pain that might otherwise shape our days ahead. Our discussion centers on the yoga sutra Heyam Dukham Anagatam, a timeless teaching that reminds us: the suffering yet to come can—and should—be avoided.

In this episode we discuss what yoga calls the three laws of nature, or, the Gunas. These are present in all aspects of nature, and affect everything. It's a scale (or spectrum) of energy, with low heavy slow energy at one end, fast fiery energy at the other, and balanced calm energy sitting in the middle. It's a useful tool to help us understand the cycles of nature, life and human behaviours, and could help individuals identify the type of energy they need to regain positive balance in their lives.

This is a discussion about allowing yourself to go a bit deeper into yoga than you have previously been... allowing yourself to relax more into a posture, delve deeper into an aspect of theory, or allow a meditation to take yo to a place you have not experienced before. It's about letting go a little bit more, releasing the cynicism and seeing if there is something more, that you have yet to experience.
