Ever feel stuck, foggy, or like you just can't get moving? That might be Tamas at work. The Gunas are the three fundamental qualities that, according to yoga philosophy, make up all of nature — including our bodies, minds, and moods. In the first of three episodes on the Gunas, we explore Tamas — the quality of inertia, heaviness, and rest. We look at where it fits in the broader Guna framework, how it shows up in everyday life, and how yoga gives us tools to recognise and shift it. Rajas (passion and energy) and Sattva (clarity and balance) will be discussed in depth in the next two episodes.

Emma and Andy try to keep their podcasts light-hearted and unedited, wherever possible, allowing for a more natural conversation style and an authentic representation of their characters. They aim to provide information and entertainment by mixing their knowledge, research and personal experiences with debate and (occasional) opposing view points.  :-)
