0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome to episode 51 of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. On the show today, we have Savira Gupta, coming back for part two of the yamas and ni yamas. If you haven't heard part one, I highly recommend you pause this and go listen to episode 47 where Savira talks about the yamas in depth and we get
0:25.9	into a complete conversation about understanding the yamas and living them. So that's on episode
0:33.3	47 and this episode is a continuation of that conversation this is part two where we dive into
0:41.3	the niamas and we explore all the five niamas right from saucha to santosha tapas swadhyaya
0:51.6	and ishwarapranidana and don't worry if these names or these words don't make sense to you right away.
0:57.9	Severeh talks, explains each one of them in detail.
1:01.3	And she talks about the mindset that we need to have when we approach the Niamas.
1:07.8	She talks about how compassion, sincerity and curiosity is required. We dive into the
1:14.9	differences between Swadhyaya and sadhana and Dharma and how to really practice these in a way
1:23.7	where we're detached, but it's not about ignorant detachment. And Savira gives us
1:31.1	really practical advice on how to practice these neymas and how to really live them and enjoy
1:39.3	them in a certain way and move inward. So it's a perfect follow-up to part one, if I may say so.
1:47.1	And I really hope that as yoga teachers, as yoga students, you find immense value in, in
1:56.1	conversations like this. Because Seveira clearly talks about how these two yamas and ni yamas, these first
2:03.2	two limbs of yoga, are our foundation and without it we cannot practice yoga. So she has a really
2:10.6	beautiful way of simplifying these concepts and I really appreciate her answering these questions
2:16.9	because honestly these are not easy questions to answer.
2:21.1	As always, if you enjoy the Let's Talk yoga podcast and we are officially a year old, I would love for you to take a moment to share a review on iTunes and share this podcast with your yoga friends,
2:38.5	your yoga teachers, your yoga studios, because conversations like this are needed in the
2:44.5	modern yoga world and they'll collectively help us raise the bar for ourselves as teachers
2:49.5	as students.
2:55.3	And it always means a lot when you do support the podcast.
