Greetings and Blessings!
Spring heralds a lot of energy and the return of longer sunnier days beckons one to make new plans or try something new; resume aborted plans, projects and dreams and even acknowledge and face one’s fears or negative beliefs. The energy of spring is all about positivity and potential. With this in mind we share with you Kassandra Reinhardt’s energy boosting flow to help you tap into the power of this season. The practice focuses primarily on spinal rotation and lateral flexion; a wonderful way to activate your digestive system and get a boost of energy. 

We bring to you articles that shares with us methods to free the traffic jam in our lymph system and help it get toxins out of our body quickly; top tips to use yoga therapeutically to help support the spine and neck; yoga postures to remove tension in the body; cultivate deep relaxation and prepare the body for seated meditation practice; self-care practices of breathwork, movement, nutrition, and spirit to provide a well-rounded approach to wellness and also warnings that losing touch with our bodies disconnects us from ourselves. It is Yoga asanas that have the power to bring us back into the body and show us that being there is essential. 

Asana is usually translated as “posture.” However, Yogacharini Maitreyi, reminds us that it comes from the root word “state of being.” So in each moment we are called to be aware of our state of being and our stance/ posture towards the world as we are so much more than just the physical. Roy Sunak unfolds how Yoga and Meditation strengthened and enriched the remarkable journey of his life and calls on all to be more compassionate towards each other.

Yoga Magazine is saddened by the passing away of Venerable Master Hsing Yun on 5 Feb 2023. By recollecting his life and sharing his wisdom we wish to pay homage to his remarkable legacy. 

May the seeds of Spring bring good harvest for all! 
Yogi Maharaj Dr Malik
