Community Manager:Welcome to our December issue. Yes, it’s the end
of another year, but like all good endings it also
heralds the start of something new as well. Let’s
frame our outlook in the positive and look ahead
to great things, both this month and in the coming
year ahead.
There’s certainly plenty to get excited about in
this issue with some amazing stories and lots of
inspiring people to keep your practice fresh and
alive on and off the mat.
Our talented roll call of teachers profiled this month includes Nahid de
Belgeonne, founder of the Good Vibes yoga studios in London (page 38).
We’ve also got Caleb Packham, an Australian former TV presenter who’s
made his home in the capital to bring yoga’s teachings to as many people
as he can, especially more men (page 54).
In the Teacher Zone section you’ll find more on the debate on the
possible introduction of occupational standards into the realm of yoga,
a topic that has sparked one or two heated opinions. Read all about it on
page 108 (and do let us know your thoughts as well).
And, of course, in the run-up to Christmas we’ve got plenty of fun
and fabulous yoga themed gift ideas inside if you’re still looking to buy
something special for your loved ones (page 70). Our Ethical Beauty report
(page 58) should provide a few clean-living, all-natural ideas for those
Xmas stockings too.
If that all sounds a bit hectic for you then unplug and explore the
wonderful practice of Yoga Nidra (page 44), a magnificent and tranquil
exercise that’s sure to reset your calm and zen levels.
From all at OM HQ we’re signing off for this year, but we’ll be back and
raring to go again in 2017. Look out for our January issue in-between
Christmas and New Year, and remember that we’re going monthly now, so
there’ll be a separate February issue too for the first time ever.
Have a great Christmas all you amazing people, keep sharing the yoga
love and see you on the mat real soon.Welcome
