Inside Yoga 196 (6/3/2107) We have been doing it since the moment we were born, we need it to stay alive, but we treat it so badly that it is amazing it puts up with our behaviour.

more >Inside Yoga 195 (27/2/2017) Last week I was asked: “If I fall asleep while meditating, am I still meditating?” Not only is this an important and good question, it is one that I have been asked before, several times … so here’s an answer, and as you would expect from the world of yoga the answer is not a straight […]
more >Inside Yoga 194 (20/2/2017) In yoga we are often asked to look within.

Whether we are sitting […]
