Purpose

The study and practice of Yoga keeps me questioning and experimenting on my way of being. The Yoga Student was created to share what I am learning through gathered knowledge and personal experience. Articles by The Yoga Student may give you insight but these are my set of experiences and perspectives and you will have your own. I encourage you to take from them what works for you but always strive to follow your own path.

Besides my articles, you will also find a few contributed by other wellness professionals authored under ‘Contributor.TYS’. Each contributor’s name and contact details are always mentioned under their write-up to enable you to connect with them.

In this section I write about how I work on my thinking for a really good life experience.

We judge others – their actions and beliefs, and we judge ourselves too. In this section I talk about my daily habits along with certain yoga postures, and how they’ve changed me.

In this section I talk about how food maketh the mood which in turn maketh the dude!
