There would appear to be many 'styles' of Yoga. In reality, there is only 'Yoga' which, traditionally was taught according to the needs and capabilities of individual students on a one to one basis, the student living in close proximity to the teacher from a very young age and learning in a direct experiential way over a long period of time, not merely the asanas but the way of life which supported practice, based on the bedrock of the 'yamas' and 'niyamas' or code of what needs to be adopted or discarded to live an ethical life. Times change and while there are now many varieties of practice on offer, the importance of the relationship between pupil and teacher is still of paramount importance.
We are lucky to have many fine teachers in the west, some directly from India, and others who have followed closely authentic teachers and who pass on their learning to their students. This month we feature an interview with Radha who has many years of experience and who shares her Yoga journey with readers of Yoga & Health.
Increasingly the benefits of Yoga practice in all its forms, including asana, pranayama, meditation and deep relaxation techniques, have been recognised by western scientists and medics. Inside, Cheryl Macdonald shares some practical tips on how to adapt practice during pregnancy, while Marie Toms continues her account of how cardiac patients can be greatly assisted by simple exercise and, most importantly, simple breathing techniques.
Also in this issue are features on the healing power of honey, ideas for Yoga breaks, previews of some exciting Yoga events due to take place this summer, and a new series on Yoga and Ayurveda. Until next month, when we have some special summer tips for all the family, we wish you all a warm and relaxing month ahead.
