Community Manager:Greetings and Sun Salutations. Welcome to our
fabulous August summer special packed with
all the yoga inspiration, advice and fun you’ll
need for the month ahead. Whatever you’re up
to – heading off on your hols somewhere nice
or staying at home – we’ve got everything you
need to stay motivated, on and off the mat.
Read on for meditations, practical yoga
instruction and anatomy (including a blissful
end-of-the-day sequence, Yoga Recharge, (page
30) and deep spiritual insight. That includes an exploration into the
wonderful world of Yoga Nidra (if you haven’t tried it yet, you simply must!)
(starting on page 68), and also some tips and tricks for dealing with the
menopause (Yoga and the Menopause, which begins on page 40).
Inside, we’ve also got some powerful yoga stories from two amazing
ladies. In our OM Meets interview, American yoga star Colleen Saidman
Yee (page 34) talks about how yoga can help in the battle with addiction;
plus there’s an account from Anneke Lucas (My Story, page 92), on how
yoga has helped her deal with early years abuse as a child.
Keep reading but, above all, keep practicing. Summer’s here so grab
the good weather while you can and take your practice outside, whether
that’s out in the garden, in the park, or on a redundant helipad on top of
a skyscraper (yep, it all goes on...see page 26).
If you’re looking for somewhere new to roll out your mat and spice
things up then look no further than some of the incredible studios
featured in our Fab 5 report (page 50). All of these wellbeing centres
offer great yoga and positive vibes, plus a friendly community of like-
minded souls to reinvigorate your time on the mat.
Or if you’re looking to upgrade a home practice then maybe it’s time to
invest in some nice new kit to drive you on. There’s everything from blocks
to snuggle blankets in our Get Your Kit Together special (from page 74).
Have a fantastic month, folks.Welcome
