Inside Yoga 220 (18/12/2017) With Christmas approaching I decided to post a festive blog and had a browse of cyberspace to see if there is anything out there.

more >Inside Yoga 219 (11/12/2017) This famous slogan, “Keep calm and carry on” helped the population of Britain keep going during the Second World War, and it continues to be used as a reminder or a sales gimmick, and it also has relevance when it comes to yoga practice.

more >Inside Yoga 215 (6/11/17) We might feel life is very complicated some of the time, or perhaps most of the time, and there are times when it’s us who make it complicated when it need not be.

more >Inside Yoga 211 (3/10/17) Yoga offers us the opportunity to feel a greater sense of calmness, feel more relaxed in general, healthier and fill us with more energy, greater clarity, and in general an improved feeling of well- being, yet all these beneficial aspects are only achieved via establishing stillness.
