OM Magazine
Issue 86, July 2018
Welcome to our July issue. Inside, we’ve
got everything you need to keep your yoga
practice fresh and alive this month: from simple
sequences and easy-to-follow recipes through
to information on the chakra system and
Patanjali’s eightfold path.
It’s summertime here in the UK so take
your yoga practice outside if possible to feel
the pranic energy nurture body, mind and
spirit. Check out our travel section this month
(starting on page 106) for a few ideas on where you might be able to
roll out your mat (basically, anywhere!).
It’s great if you can find the time for a full-on retreat in the sun, but
yoga’s portability means that it’s available for one and all wherever you
go: at home in the garden, over the local park, or even floating down
the river on a paddle board. Just do it!
But man (and woman) cannot live by yoga alone. There’s a special
report on all things tea this month (page 50) where you can discover
great new brands, blends and flavours inside to liven up your summer.
Britain’s best-loved beverage (stand aside coffee!) is equally popular
in India too, yoga’s birthplace, so there’s got to be something in it –
this potent brew is perfect for hydration and for delivering a whole
host of herbal health benefits to your body.
Plus it’s sociable too. If you’re still making excuses why you didn’t
make it to class last night, invite a friend over and share a pot of tea
for a natter. It’s all good!
Other highlights this month include an interview with senior yoga
instructor Ruth White (page 34) and a personal account from Ivor
Campbell-Davys of YogaFit retreats, a man on a mission to get more
guys on the mat (page 46).
And that’s where the magic happens...on the mat. So, in-between all
your tea breaks and OM reading, try and put some time aside for a
regular practice – indoors or outdoors, it all counts. Have a wonderful
month, guys and gals.Welcome
