Odyssey Magazine - Autumn 2022

In this issue

In the autumn 2022 edition #237 we feature Ayurveda, one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems. In Ayurvedic tradition autumn is ruled by the airy, mobile Vata dosha and, whether you love autumn or dread winter, you will feel more balanced with a few simple nutritional and lifestyle changes that the principles of Ayurveda support. We place the spotlight on ‘Walking with the Masters’ and feature Paramahansa Yogananda, considered one of the pre-eminent spiritual figures of modern times and BKS Iyengar, founder of Iyengar Yoga, featured in a 1979 Odyssey interview and since his passing his influence is still apparent. In 2004 Iyengar was named by Time Magazine as one of the hundred most influential people in the world. Then we travel from ancient times and Ayurveda to present day, highlighting the modern practice of Biohacking, an underground movement founded in 2000, that is now open, accepted and practised by millions of people around the globe and in South Africa. “Biohacking is best described as the art and science of adapting and assessing your internal environment (your body) and external environment (where you live and work) and making the necessary changes to optimise your mind, body and soul.” Steve Stavs. This edition is packed full of book giveaways and sumptuous foodie insets, with wedding feasts and eclectic nuptial ideas in ‘My Wedding, My Way’.
