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.
