    Episode 5 Part 2: The Eight Limbs Of Yoga With Katja Patel

    Send us a text In this second part of my lovely conversation with Katja, we continue looking at the Eight Limbs of Yoga. We continue to discuss our interpretations of what they mean and how we can  apply them to our practice and modern, everyday life. We begin our conversation with a brief look at Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and I reference my copy which is translated and commentaried by Swami Satchidananda. Please see the link below. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yoga-Sutras-Patanjali-Swami-Satchidananda/dp/1938477073 We then have a recap of the first 3 limbs we discussed in Part 1: Yama & Niyama, Asana, Pranayama,  and then we fturn our focus back on Pratyahara the 4th Limb.  Its a conversation full of what the key parts of a full yoga practice are and how they are still as powerful and relevant today to our holistic health, and development of our consciousness today as they have ever been. I really hope you enjoy it. The last part of our conversation will follow shortly, in part 3.

    Episode 5 Part 1: Exploring The Eight limbs of Yoga With Katja Patel

    Send us a text In this episode I'm joined again by my lovely Yoga teacher Katja Patel to begin exploring The Eight Limbs of Yoga. We thought we might be able to summarise each of the limbs within one episode but we definitely bit off more than we could chew here, and once we got going we found ourselves diving deeply into the many layers, meanings, practical applications and interpretations of each of the limbs.  The Eight Limbs were recorded in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as a systematised approach to a yoga practice and they describe each of the interrelating and enmeshed "brances" of Hatha Yoga. Each branch or limb is part of a holistic system so one should not be practiced without the others in some form.

    Episode 4: A Conversation On Death & Loss

    Send us a text In this sensitive epiosde I talk about a subject that I feel is still pretty taboo in our western culture. With or without the framework of religion, many people in our society are afraid to talk about death and will go out of their way to avoid it. Whilst other cultures around the world openly accept death as an integral part of lifes miraculous cycle, and in so doing create more community and support for those that are dying and grieving. I talk all around this issues and expplore how our yoga practice can help us grieve, create community and perhaps begin to shift our perpectives of life and death and the material world versus the spiritual world. In this episode I mentioned this amazing Ram Dass Podcast-you can listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6xzDDgZapWfakKIHW4vXMV I alos spoke about the Bhakti Yogi and Death Doula Matt, you can find him here on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/madhumatt/  He also does his own podcast on death which is beautiful-you can find this on his profile.

    Episode 3: What Does It Mean To Retreat?

    Send us a text Having just been on a recent Shamanic retreat, and thinking about what that really means to go on retreat, I spend this episode exploring what a retreat is and what it can offer us in terms of experience and introspection, community and self expression. I also ask the question: "Do we really need to spend thousands of pounds flying half way around the world to retreat or can we create an effective retreat space right here at home?" I hope you enjoy. If you have any comments, questions or anything you would like to hear about related to this podcast, I'd love to hear from you.

    Epiosde 2: The Yamas & Niyamas: A Beautiful Code To Live By

    Send us a text In this episode I look at one of the 8 limbs or integral parts of a yoga practice that is often overlooked: The Yamas and Niyamas. These beautiful codes of conduct were talked about by Patanjali some 5 or 6 thousand years ago and are as relevant today as they have ever been. I love how practical and accessible they are and how all of us can start implementing them straight away. They really are a beautiful code to live by and become a better human being. I reference my favourite yoga book throughout this episode:  The heart Of Yoga Developing A Personal Practice by T.K.V Desikachar. I hope you enjoy the episode.

    Season 2 Episode 1: From Ego & Ambition To Acceptance & Surrender

    Send us a text Hello everyone, Im super happy to be back with a new season of the podcast. Today Im talking about how ego and ambition can show up for all of us in our practice and how to move away from the ego towards a practice of self acceptance, self love and surrender.  This of course is not easy and I talk about how, with time, yoga can really begin to highlight for each of us the nature of our own internal negative narratives and how we can begin to change these through the practice of self acceptance, non-judgment and self love. Its a lifetimes work but the benefits are miraculous. Wishing you love and light, Helen x If you have any comments, questions or anything you would like to hear about related to this podcast, I'd love to hear from you.

    Episode 15: The Importance Of Rest

    Send us a text In this episode I give a little bit of a personal update, and talk a bit about the importance of rest and stillness for integration. This is so important not only for the physical but for the mental and emotional bodies aswell. I talk about the  culture of "busy-ness" that we have in the UK and how in my career as a make up artist being exhausted was a toxic badge of honour. I hereby give you permission to be still and take rest my friends! Its vitally important for us to heal, grow, learn and move forward. I also share a few bits about whats coming in Season 2! See you there! With love & light, Helen x If you have any comments, questions or anything you would like to hear about related to this podcast, I'd love to hear from you.

    Episode 14: A Conversation With My First Guest & Yoga Teacher Trainer Katja Patel

    Send us a text In this lovely first conversation with my amazing yoga teacher trainer Katja, we talk about what bought Katja onto the yogic path, being human as a yoga teacher, religion versus spirituality, discipline in our yoga practice and how trust and faith in the practice and process is a vital part of the journey.  We also talk about how we are sent the right teachers at the right time, how self-doubt, a lack of self-worth and inertia can limit us all, and how we can use the practice to take us over the line into action and back into a state of balance and greater self-belief. Katja Patel has been practising Hatha yoga for over 30 years and teaching for 25 years. She has a wealth of knowledge in Ayurveda, yogic philosophy and anatomy. I had the great honour of being her student and now I can happily call her a dear friend. I hope you enjoy this beautiful conversation as much as we did. If you would like to find out more about the amazing work that Katja does you can find her here: https://www.zestforyoga.com/ or follow her on instagram  https://www.instagram.com/zestforyoga/ or email: katjapatel@zestforyoga.com If you have any comments, questions or anything you would like to hear about related to this podcast, I'd love to hear from you.
