OM Magazine
Issue 112, December 2020

Welcome to our December issue.
So, how will you be celebrating the end
of 2020? I can almost hear the replies and
groans from here! It’s fair to say it has
been a challenging time for so many of
us worldwide. Thank heavens for yoga,
meditation and pranayama.
If things haven’t gone to plan this
year, then you may be breathing a big sigh of relief right now. Or
perhaps not. Maybe this year has thrown up some wonderful new
opportunities for you, or given you the chance to reconnect with
family, or to reevaluate certain aspects of your life.
Even if it has felt like an uphill struggle at times, perhaps we can
take something from that, such as an appreciation of all that we have
in any given moment. Gratitude never grows old.
Being denied certain basic freedoms during the year, including
our innate social side, may have nurtured a greater appreciation for
community, compassion, kindness to strangers and a generosity of spirt.
Often, these are things that we may reserve for the festive season alone.
So let’s embrace it and recognise just how important our yoga
community is, for each other and for the wider world around us,
especially during such unsettled times.
Lots of readers have contacted OM to tell us how important their
practice has been throughout this period. Simply stepping onto a yoga
mat, or slowing down the breath, even for a few minutes or moments,
can bring us back into a place of greater peace. It’s good to know that
some things remain constant.
Readers have also told us how happy they are the magazine is being
delivered regularly to their doors once more, after a brief hiatus in the
summer. We’re happy to be back too and keenly aware of our role and
responsibility during this present time. Stay in touch with us as we
love hearing from you.
So, if I ask, are you ready for 2021? Please don’t say you need to see
the terms and conditions first! With our yoga practice, and with all
good intentions, we’ll step through the door together. But first, let’s
all enjoy this month of December, a gift to be enjoyed, collectively and
consciously. Merry Christmas to everybody.
