Multiple studies have made the physical benefits of yoga very clear - if you do it regularly, you will see improvement in balance, flexibility, strength, cardiovascular health and muscle tone.

But to describe it in purely physical terms is to miss out on yoga philosophy, the purpose of which is to connect our physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual and energetic selves so that we no longer feel fractured inside as we move through life.

Because yoga reduces anxiety and stress, it also helps us to overcome a whole suite of other issues that stress makes worse (and which in turn are stress-causing): arthritis, poor digestion, broken sleep, auto-immune diseases, migraine headaches.

It's simpler to say that yoga just makes everything better.

I really hope you find your way to your mat this week. There really is something for everyone our Yogi’s Library now and as the Bhagavad Gita tells us:

“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Even a little effort toward spiritual awareness will protect you from the greatest fear.”

Lots of love to you.
