S2 Ep1074: Why Is It Hard To Break Bad Habits?
On The Happy Hour this week, we're chatting about breaking bad habits and behaviours in our lives.
Whether it’s giving up smoking, overeating on junk food, or excessive social media scrolling, or something else. These habits can be hard to brush off, yet the almost automatic way in which we reach for them can have negative impact on our mental and physical health.
For this month's Off The Mat Chat, yoga teacher Dawn Blezard tells us what yoga sutras say about breaking these habits or addictions and discusses some first steps we can take to change them.
You can find out more about Dawn by searching for "Pathway Yoga with Dawn" on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.
Image shows Dawn smiling at the camera. She has blonde hair with darker ends that's done up in two French brairds. She's wearing a blue t-shirt and sitting in front of a bright yellow couch.

Above him, half rings of soft lights make it seem like he's walking out of the ribcage of a great whale. [Image credit: Gary Williamson]
