The Yoga Institute Recommends – Summer 2025

You’ve let us know you love seeing what we have been reading, watching, and listening to. Here is what the team at The Yoga Institute have been enjoying and exploring over the warmer months.
The choices made around what our senses consume matters. It can inspire and build new neurons. Our choices can also calm or agitate our nervous system so we want to choose wisely. But at the same time, we want stay open and detached to new ideas, and different perspectives. It can help us find new speakers, authors, public figures and artists that may offer us new knowledge and opportunities for self-awareness.
Open-minded curiosity for our outer world is itself a masterclass in observing your own inner world, stay curious dear humans!
