A regular yoga practice helps develop friendliness, compassion, and greater equanimity.

Yogic philosophy also emphasises avoiding harm to others, telling the truth, and taking only what you need to improve relationships.

“Before I took up yoga, I was really unaware of how much happiness I put on to someone else when I’m in a relationship. Then, when it ends everything always came crashing down around me,” says teacher Natalie Buckland.

“Yoga opened my eyes and made me realise that happiness has to come from within – it’s the only place where things won’t change!”
