How Yoga Philosophy Shows Up in Your Daily Life (Yama and Niyama Explained)
🎙️Show Notes
Summary
Some days feel slightly off — not because anything is wrong, but because something feels unsettled underneath.
In this episode, I explore how the Yama and Niyama — often seen as philosophical ideas — actually show up in very ordinary moments throughout your day.
We look at how small patterns like reacting, comparing, or constantly reaching for more create inner pressure — and how simple shifts in awareness can begin to change that.
This is not about rules or getting it “right,” but about recognising what is already happening — and creating a little more space, steadiness, and ease.
