Anirudh Shaucha means purity or cleanliness. It refers both outwards and inwards (mind, thought) cleanliness or purification.
Yoga always means moderation or yukta in whatever we do (eating, movements, sleeping, digital media). So whatever we do moderation is the key.

Anirudh that’s a wonderful question! My go to choice would be seasonal veggies based on where you live. That’s nature’s way of giving you the right foods.

Less common foods would be turnip greens, which are great sources of calcium, beets and watercress for antioxidants, and to support the detox system.

Ramanujan R How can the concept of saucha (purity) be applied to our modern digital lives, including our interactions on social media and our consumption of online content?

Alberto thank you for sharing your story!

Thank you for sharing your experience Alberto . It’s great to see the dietary changes you have made and the positive impact. Your commitment to improving your health is an inspiration to every one.

I am a happy user of MYT (My Yoga Teacher). My Yoga Guru, Ram, recommended me to have something done regarding my weight which being 70 years old, has been a little bit out of control. Then is when he recommended me Meenu Balaji, a wealth and diet guru of MYT. I have been working with her for two months. She recomended me a new eating style that me and my wife starting following. This style involved the reduction of calories and fat, especially saturated fats. She added legumes with very tasteful stews and soups that were organized in a diet that had many good choices and alternatives following my life style and previous eating habits. I reduced the amount of red meats which I replaced with other proteins such as fish, poultry and legumes. I drastically reduced the alcohol use, which was never a problem to me. As a result, I lost 4 kgs in 6 weeks!. Now, I am in a plateau that Meenu is helping me to break…hopefully down! I am adding three photos of some replacement plates, taking direclty from my diner table, such as skinless chicken, salmon with sweet potatoes and lentils stew. By the end, we felt that after doing these changes, Meenu is taking us into a healthier eating for a better life!

Thanks for the question Anirudh Soaking nuts like almonds, remove the anti nutrients in them. Therefore, it becomes more digestible. But pine nuts, pistachios or Brazil nuts needn’t be soaked.

Also, don’t skip almonds just because you forgot to soak it.

Transformation Spotlight: Pavani’s Journey to Stronger Bones!

We’re thrilled to share an inspiring story of strength and perseverance from our very own community member, Pavani Challa!

At 49 years young and residing in California, USA, Pavani embarked on her wellness journey 5 years ago. Before joining the MyYogaTeacher platform, Pavani faced a significant health challenge: a diagnosis of Osteopenia, bordering on Osteoporosis.

Driven to take control of her health and prevent further progression, Pavani sought a solution that could fit her busy lifestyle. The flexibility and ease of finding the right coaches on MyYogaTeacher led her to connect with the wonderful Anupamaa Deshpandey Anupamaa Deshpandey

Together, Pavani and Anupamaa crafted a truly holistic routine. Imagine this: three days of empowering weight training paired with two days of grounding yoga, all complemented by personalized nutrition guidance tailored to support Pavani’s bone health.

The results? Absolutely incredible! In just two years of consistent practice, Pavani’s bone density, which stood at -8.5% in October 2022, has risen by a remarkable 6.5% by December 2024! She’s now on the verge of achieving normal bone density – a testament to her dedication and Anupamaa’s expert guidance.

Pavani’s advice to others on their fitness and health journeys is simple yet powerful: “Consistency is key to see the results in your exercise routine. Start small and slowly work towards your goals. Your health is the best gift you can give to yourself and your loved ones, and seek the support of platforms like MyYogaTeacher and their professional coaches to stay motivated.”

Let’s all celebrate Pavani’s incredible progress and the hope her story offers to so many!

Anupamaa Deshpandey thank you for sharing this with us!

Meenu Preethi Balaji Hearing a lot these days about starting your day off with soaked nuts. There are few who recommend this and a few who say it’s a fad and does not do much for health.

The sutra sthiram sukham is criteria for how asana should be and done.
Any position can be called asana if it is-
Sthiram- stable, still and yet relaxed
Sukham- done with ease and happiness

Pankaj Soni Yes, it is a lower gluten variety. Jackfruit flour is a great choice for people with diabetes. The only thing is the digestibility. So you can start mixing in smaller portions to regular flour to check.

Meenu Preethi Balaji
how is Sharbati Wheat from madhya pradesh, is it low gluten?
also i read, that mixing green jackfruit flour helps reduce its sugar level in one of ted talks. is it true?
