Welcome to the New Year and I hope that you enjoy

reading YOGA Magazine.

We are delighted to start 2019 with a magazine packed with in-

formative and interesting features, tips and plenty of yoga, both

practical and theoretical. In the coming months YOGA Magazine

will cover even more yoga articles and ways in which you can prac-

tically apply it into your day-to-day life.

If you are new to yoga or thinking of starting a class but are unsure

of what type of yoga to practise, then have a look at our feature on

‘What you need to know’. You’ll also love our Teacher of the Month

section. Carlos Alberto Buitargo Santamaria is our cool Columbian

yoga teacher who provides an energising Mandala yoga workout

to help kick-start your New Year – enjoy!

The feature about Dipa Ma teaches an important but often over-

looked lesson, that we must practise self-love because otherwise

we cannot really progress in our life or be successful in anything.

This month we offer you an exclusive Yoga Detox for the New

Year, featuring postures that twist, bend and invert the body to

help you get toned and to improve your mind and body. Yoga is a

tried and tested therapy for draining toxins out of your body. The

results can be phenomenal – try it and experience it first hand –

don’t just take our word for it.

If you are thinking of changing your diet or eating habits or even to

just shift some post Xmas festive bulge, then we can help. So why

not start the New Year by focussing on what you eat and drink?

Check out our feature on ‘Raw Food diet tips’. Jamie Lloyd an

award-winning fitness professional provides you in-depth advice.

Hopefully, everything you wanted to know about the benefits of a

raw food diet are covered.

YOGA Magazine also visits Ibiza and explores a Santhosa yoga and

dance retreat. And for all those practitioners who love yoga like

we do, there’s plenty to think about as we cover a wide range of

subjects including the koshas, the yimas and niyamas, mantras and

more. If you don’t know what these are – read on.

2019 will be a splendid year for our YOGA Magazine readers. We’ll

be covering more in-depth yoga related articles, more practical

yoga and featuring exclusive interviews with celebrity practitio-

ners and yoga teachers at the grass roots who are making a differ-

ence in the yoga community.

This month we feature three Kundalini meditation exercises for improving our prosperity so we can achieve success and a harmonious life, for the benefit of ourselves and others, and there are some excellent yogic tips to help you transition from autumn to winter.

We also feature five wonderful variations of Adho Muka Svanasana (Downward Dog Facing Dog) for you to experiment with, as this pose serves as a solid foundation to a rewarding yoga practice, and there are a dozen ways to make meditation a habit.

This month’s guest teacher, Mars Gossi, expertly guides us through Parivrtta Ardha Malasana (Revolved Extended Leg Squat), Ubhaya Padangusthasana (Both Feet Big Toe pose) and Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana (Compass pose), before a wonderful sequence that opens the hips and heart and leads us into Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana (Mermaid pose).

Plus we catch up with ‘angel expert’ Kyle Gray; we take a look at the girlness project, and there are some fascinating facts on intermittent fasting.

I hope you enjoy reading the magazine, and I look forward to meeting you in December.
