What Is A Detox?

As a child I remember my mother boiling up her home made version of senna pods and giving me and my brother spoonfuls of the concoction to drink every Christmas and Easter school holidays. As you can image, I hated it. The taste was bitter and as the mixture was a laxative it meant I couldn’t go out and play with my friends, just in case I got the runs and had to rush to the toilet. Yet despite our protestations and promises that we would eat our greens, mum insisted in giving us our regular “cleanse and wash-out” as she called it.

The other day I received a phone call from Mary, a potential yoga student.

Mary was stressed, overworked and exhausted. Life was getting her down. A work colleague advised Mary to try yoga as a way to find relief from her worries and to boost her energy.

As I listened to Mary recall her daily struggle -from waking up feeling tired , anxious and clock-watching about getting her children ready for school time; they were old enough to get themselves ready and dressed for school, but Mary liked to be around to make sure they left home on time to go to school; this left her feeling rushed and anxious on days when she had to go into work early. Mary tried to leave work by 5.00pm so she could pick her children up from their AfterSchool Club. Her work day felt rushed and Mary often felt demoralised at the amount of work she had to do, often without support and proper resources from her manager.
