Yoga is a discipline drawn from Indian traditions and has been used for thousands of years to engage balance in spirit and body. In the nineteen sixties, some forms of Yoga began to become popular in the UK, on the back of the international hippie movement and today there are many people around the globe who have experienced the health benefits of the practice. In Bristol, local alternative newspaper B247 reports that “Shine Hypnotherapy” has organised a weekly hour long session of Yoga for LGBTQ people and allies.
