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. Through our practice we aim for stillness, both in body […]
more >Inside Yoga 209 (4/9/2017) Many of us reach a point when all we want to do is to wipe the slate clean and start again. In such situations all we want to do is restart or reboot, like we do when our computer has stopped working for from overuse and overload. Our yoga practice offers us a way to wipe […]
more >Inside Yoga 208 (28/8/2017) For several decades our average life span has steadily increased but in the spring of this year, a report said that this increase had stalled and might begin to fall, sparking questions about the way we now live, and the health of the nation. These figures came from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, and showed […]
more >Inside Yoga 207 (30/7/2017) Prof Peter O’Sullivan, Professor of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Curtin University, Perth, Australia, talks about back pain in this interesting video – in which he separates fact from fiction when it comes to chronic back pain.

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 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 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 197 (13/3/2017) It is time for a clarification! We often see the words written out or spoken: “yoga and meditation”.
