March Foundations of Yoga Class

Insights by our class members on the Niyama of Purity

Clean, clear, true, real, uncluttered, not a mixture, honest, focused.

Physical plane purity needs to happen to have connection with source.

The core of purity is in us. Purity is like a calm pond.

Things in thier natural state, radiance/radiant, integrity, elemental.

When straying from a pure lifestyle, it's helpful to examine state of mind & motive.

Wholeheartedness of effort or intent no matter what the endeavor.

The class brought up examples of; cleansing teas, sweat lodges, pure thoughts
and the difficulties of considering purity without being judgemental
depending on one's framework or perspective.

It is important to have pure food, water and air.

Purity connects and integrates holistically with Ahimsa (peacefulness)
& Satya (truthfulness).
