1st YOGA Magazine
launched in 2003 in the UK
Dear Esteemed Readers,
As the sun stands high in the summer sky, casting its golden light upon all that blooms, we are reminded to illuminate our inner world with the same warmth and vitality. This July, YOGA Magazine unites voices from around the globe to explore healing, harmony, and awakening in their many forms. What binds this richly diverse issue is a shared intention: to guide us back to wholeness through breath, presence, and remembrance.
We begin with a deeper dive into energetic awareness. Ashwini Guru Ji’s exploration of the chakras offers practical yogic techniques for balancing energy and preventing disease, while Yogiraj Muni’s vivid account of Kundalini initiation reveals how spiritual awakening often emerges from the mysteries of daily life.
Healing is a resonant thread throughout this edition. Lena Franklin shares a powerful journey through intergenerational grief and transformation, while the trauma-informed inclusivity of Banana Yoga redefines what it means to create safe, sacred spaces. Caroline Shola Arewa revives the sacred legacy of Kemetic (Egyptian) yoga—tracing its deep connection with Indian traditions and cosmic balance—to remind us that ancient wisdom still holds the key to modern well-being.
If you seek transformation through daily rituals, you’ll find guidance in Aaron Surtees’ insights on subconscious rewiring for deep sleep, Sandra Roycroft-Davis’ science of self-compassion for lasting change, and Oliver Niño’s powerful energy-clearing bedtime practice. These accessible tools show how small shifts can spark profound growth.
We also celebrate the spiritual heart of yoga. Dr. Kausthub Desikachar’s integration of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Viniyoga, Srivatsa Ramaswami’s exposition on the cosmic wisdom of Samkhya philosophy, and Theresa Cheung’s insights into accessing the Akashic Records each remind us that yoga is not only a practice, but a sacred homecoming—to the Self, to Source, to stillness.
And of course, we leave room for joy. Cathy Yoder’s vibrant summer recipes, Eva Kristlova’s invigorating beach yoga, and Sarah O’Connor’s invitation to experience divine abundance through the senses remind us that wellness is also about pleasure, creativity, and connection with the natural world.
This summer, may we each take a step closer to balance—within ourselves and with all that surrounds us. As Deepak Chopra so beautifully said, “When you restore balance in your own life, you bring balance to the world.”
With warmth and light,
Yogi Maharaj Dr. Malik
