Inside Yoga 206 (10/7/2017) While planning a weekend break in an European city I did what most of us do, I got on the net and looked up what was there to do, and after hours (well, days or weeks) less browsing more buried under, all the information, I did think that my wife had a point when she said […]

more >Inside Yoga 205 (30/6/2017) Most of us want everything in our life to predictable, stable, steady, safe and other such descriptions of life which doesn’t scare us, worry us, or make us nervous… yet life continues to surprise us, shock us and change the way we see our life, so why do we want something that never happens? Perhaps it […]

more >Inside Yoga 204 (23/5/2017) Yoga can be seen to be many things, and to a certain extent it is, yet at its core there is one factor that holds it together – this is the requirement to concentrate. So are you paying attention, because I will explain why! Whether we are doing physical exercises (asanas) or we are practising breathing […]

more >Inside Yoga 203 (15/5/2017) It is not an exercise regime yet we do exercises! It is about the mind yet we stop our thinking? It appears to be a good stretch yet it is not about flexibility! These are just a few of the contradictory impressions yoga has among the general public, including many of those who attend classes: so […]

more >Inside Yoga 202 (8/5/2017) I have just finished reading The Book of Joy, which are conversations with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. It was an excellent and inspiring book, where these octogenarians explain what joy is and how to attain it – see below why these masters of joy have a lot to teach us. Author […]

more >Inside Yoga 201 (18/4/2017) None of us like feeling anxious, fearful, angry and stressed, and many of us beat ourselves up for being like this, but what might have escaped us while feeling low and bad is that these are normal thoughts and feelings… if we first understand human nature before finding a solution. Recently, I read Ruby Wax’s book […]

more >Inside Yoga 200 (3/4/2017) In December 2016 yoga was added to Unesco’s List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, in recognition of its influence on Indian society, from health and medicine to education and the arts according to the world heritage committee.

more >Inside Yoga 199 (27/3/2017) After a walk or a visit to the garden my dog will come into the house and spend a few minutes walking to and fro, unable to stop and sit down, restless and not sure what he is supposed to do next. How many of us recognise this behaviour in ourselves? The restlessness I describe above […]
more >Inside Yoga 198 ( 20/3/2013) She’s loud and brash, she’s a comedian, and she’s not the sort of person you expect to see publishing a book about mindfulness, but this is what I came across while browsing in a bookshop (remember those places? Where books come off a shelf and not the internet?) I came across A Mindfulness Guide for […]
more >Inside Yoga 197 (13/3/2017) It is time for a clarification! We often see the words written out or spoken: “yoga and meditation”. Worded this way, it gives the impression that these are two separate practices, but in fact, yoga is meditation – yoga and meditation are the same practice.
