Dear YOGA Magazine readers,

Greetings and blessings!

As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers”, and our gardens fill up with the colours of spring, we look forward to good things to come and our hearts fill with joy and hope. This month we are letting go of all the negativity within our minds and summoning only good thoughts and starting anew in the spirit of spring.

Spring cannot bloom without the soil to support it. So, we first take you on a journey with Sadhguru as he travels across Europe and Asia to raise awareness about saving the soil.

Before we begin starting anew, we must let go of all the thoughts and mindset that holds us back. So, this month, Harriet Smith shows us how you can use yoga to get rid of anxiety and stress. Victor Parachin coaches us on how we can deal with suffering and enlighten our minds through the teachings of the venerable Buddhist monk Dr. Walpola Rahula. Caroline Shola Arewa suggests how we can release imposter syndrome in order to flourish in life.

Once you’re ready to open your heart and mind and welcome the new you, we suggest taking your loved ones along in this journey. Alice Lageat and Béatrice Raphalen reinforce this idea as they coach you on how you may practice yoga with your child. Speaking of families, Alex Taylor explains how yoga can be used to boost fertility as you go on the journey of expanding your family.

Isabel Tew shares an interesting perspective on how you can emulate ancient yogis and use intentional breathing to bridge the gap between your physical body and mind. When it comes to bridging the gap between the body, mind, and spirit, Lizzie Slowe teaches us to use Chi Kung to exist in harmony with the Tao or ‘the Way of all things’. Sharon Heller speaks on the healing powers of yoga and shares her personal story of how it became her go-to therapy to calm and quiet her nervous system. Dr. Kibby McMahon further sheds light on how mindfulness practice can enhance therapeutic practice and accelerate healing. Learn from Karen Kirkness how the in-drawing force within our tissues holds us together.

If you need a break at any point, sit down with Amelia Vogler as she shares her top tips for grounding or follow Kelly Smith's guide on spring cleaning your chakras to allow an unblocked flow of energy through your bodies.

As spring brings sweetness and colours into your life, we wish you a very happy new beginning.

Love, joy and hope!

Yogi Maharaj Dr. Malik
