YOGA IN THE POST-COVID PHASE
T
he sage Patanjali, the greatest Yoga master of all times, talks about Soucha, which is included in Niyamas (observances) in his monumental work Yoga Sutras. Niyamas are recommended habits to be followed by Yoga sadhakas (practitioners) to achieve healthy and spiritual living.

Soucha means cleanliness. But Patanjali further defines Soucha as a tendency to hide or cover one's own organs and also the physical detachment from others. (Soucaat swaanga jugupsaa paraih asamsargah) You may remember, at the peak of Covid-19, the flight passengers needed to fully cover themselves with a gown supplied by the airport authorities, and mandatorily wear a multi-layer mask. The mask is still in use in most parts of the world as a disease preventive measure. Generally, Indians are alert when they travel, and also mingle with others. They take a bath upon returning home.
