Welcome
Get inspired this year with OM magazine — make 2026 the year yoga takes its place in your life for good!
Whatever level you’re at, even if you’re a total novice, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading for lots of great stories and personalities, oodles of inspiration, plus plenty of practical yoga too, including some amazing retreats and holidays to light the fire within.
You can even win a free five-night yoga holiday to the amazing Suryalila Retreat Centre in southern Spain with our competition in this issue. But you’ve got to be in it to win it!
Inside, you’ll also find lots of tips and life hacks for the new year, including healthy recipes and new yoga goodies we’ve uncovered, plus some cool sequences drawn from both yoga and Pilates. Something for everyone!
That includes a detailed flow through the Sun Salutation, perhaps yoga’s most iconic sequence, guided by Ravi Dixit, our regular Man on the Mat, who’s featured on our front cover.
Remember, we always love to hear from OM readers about what they’re up to so get in touch and have your say. It’s wonderful to hear how yoga is making an impact in the world, so don’t forget to tell us your tales (from both on and off the mat), especially where the practice has had a transformational impact either on yourself or someone you know. We’d love to hear from you!
Don’t forget: it’s not just about doing yoga, it’s about living yoga. Have a fabulous new year and may the long-time sun shine upon you in 2026.
