Each story in this issue of WellBeing Yoga Experience weaves the notion of presence into it, through words, photography and the sankalpa (intention) underpinning it. From the art of being still, exploring svādhyāya (self-study) and unpacking Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, to embracing malleability in your practice and yoga for self-care, every contributor has shared their deep, embodied wisdom of yoga, mindfulness and meditation with you so that you can explore the magic of these practices in your own life and connect with presence both on and off your yoga mat.

Whether you’re new to yoga or a committed yogi, WellBeing Yoga Experience aims to give you the tools you need to deepen your exploration. Our writers are experienced yoga instructors who live in the real world. They’ve interviewed well-regarded yoga teachers, delved into yogic texts, and drawn on years of practice to bring you hands-on advice, helpful posture sequences, and a deeper insight into this inspiring, connecting ancient wisdom.

This issue of WellBeing Yoga magazine is a celebration of the intricacies between yoga philosophy and the physical practice, and how we require both yin and yang energies to meet ourselves where we’re at, moment to moment. Each yogi gracing these pages is a creator not just with words, but with how they approach their unique practice. Learn about the “three jewels” of Buddhism, the wisdom of beginner’s yoga, balancing effort and ease and infusing yoga’s philosophies into everyday life. Deepen your practice through self-study, mantra and sound, the Yoga Sutras and sense withdrawal. Explore the guru concept, the hidden psoas muscle and prenatal yoga and meditation, as well as yoga for self-study, happy hormones and a fulfilling career. Nourish yourself with yin and restorative yoga, and discover how Vedic meditation and contentment are powerful practices for cultivating inner peace. We hope you enjoy reading your copy of WellBeing Yoga 08.

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.
