Excitement is in the air, as my expat students prepare to take a long, well-deserved summer break and travel back to their respective home countries or head off to a lovely beach holiday.

As the holy month of Ramadhan approaches, Muslims everywhere prepare for a month-long of fasting, abstinence and spiritual reflection. There is no better time to practice 'Saucha'. 'Saucha' ("cleanliness" or "purity") is one of the Niyamas in Patanjali's 8 Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga. Practising Saucha enhances our mindfulness, keeps the sanctity of the energy that surrounds us, and revitalises us internally and externally.
Here are 5 simple ways to purify the body, mind and spirit. Enjoy!
