WellBeing Yoga Magazine - Issue # 7

In this issue

When holding an intention, or sankalpa, in your yoga practice, perhaps with no attachment to the outcome – a form of aparigraha – it matters very little how the yoga takes shape and form. It may be a daily seated practice of pranayama (breathing exercises) and dhyana (meditation) to harness your attention, or it might be an asana (posture) practice that lengthens and strengthens the body. Each individual practice of yoga has a common thread of working with the body, the breath and the mind in order to move energy and regulate the nervous system. For some yogis, their yoga practice is steeped in philosophy, whereas for others it focuses on the physical practice. This is why WellBeing Yoga magazine is broken down into two sections: the philosophy and the practice. In the philosophy section of this magazine, you’ll read pearls of wisdom from yoga teachers around the world about cultivating mindfulness, learn about the five vayus and how they work with prana (energy) as well as how to integrate philosophy on the mat. You’ll find a translation of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and discover how to transcend stagnation in your practice. In addition, you’ll learn about metta meditation, the deeper philosophies of yin and how to cultivate contentment in your practice. When you arrive at the practice section of the mag, you’ll learn about yoga around the clock, a practice for cultivating honesty and yoga for the fourth trimester. There are features on yoga for uncertainty and managing burnout, as well as how to maintain healthy and happy hips. In addition, discover the goddesses in yoga and a deeply restorative sequence to rejuvenate your ojas. You’ll also find our regular pages as well as some beautiful book extracts of what modern-day, wholehearted yoga looks like. Yoga trends come and go, but what will always remain a constant is the ability for the practice to connect you more intimately with yourself.
