In this episode we talk to Tarik Dervish, BA Hons in Ayurveda.  Since 2001 he has been running workshops and courses in Yoga with Ayurvedic approach and is the author of the cook Ayurveda in Yoga Teaching.  

We discussed a specific part of Ayurveda called the Pancha Koshas, also known as the 5 sheaths or the 5 approaches to purifying the body.  He walked us through each level, understanding how to recognize when you are 'in one' and how to be aware of mindfully moving through the different layers. 

When we learn how to mindfully move through these sheaths, it give us a more purposeful life and strong sense of self and connection.  

"We can only train the world to serve us if we know who we are."
Tarik runs a small clinic in Kings Cross and central Brighton. You can follow him on Facebook, LinkedIn and Youtube. For more information about his work, please visit www.yogawell.co.uk.

In this episode with Steve Cole we were inspired by Steve and his ability to bring wonder and hopefulness into the world; whether that is through his Podcast, Wonder Space or through his work with the family trust Panahpur.  We discussed how we can bring the wonder of the natural world into our daily lives and how we can take learnings from how nature works.  If we can take a moment to slow down the pace and look up, what beautiful things might we see then?
