Love OM magazine and want to tell the world? Here’s your chance

Real people

I went to a yoga studio last week. Normally, that wouldn’t sound much of a big deal, but it was my first time back, in-person, since earlier this year. And I loved it! Despite all the safety measures in place, and other nonsense, it was such a wonderful feeling to see other people again and to connect with my old community. And the group chanting OM literally sent a shiver down my spine. Never again will I take my yoga for granted; never again will I hesitate to go to the studio even when it’s cold, dark and rainy outside!

Mat love stories

Hi OM. I really enjoyed your yoga mat love stories in the last issue (Yoga Mats Report, issue 110). I can totally relate to what the people were saying. I’ve had my mat for about 20 years now and I still love it (although I must confess I have also secretly bought a couple of new ones along the way!). Nothing beats my old mat though for that feeling of ‘coming home’ every time I stretch out on it. It’s amazing how an old rubber mat can make you feel. Thank you, yoga… and thank you, mat.

Welcome back

I’m so happy that OM is arriving through my door again. I really missed it. For me, it’s an important way to connect with the wider yoga community out there and to see all that’s going on. I also get lots of ideas and inspiration from your magazine, so thank you. It feels like a bit of normality once again, which is definitely what I need right now.
