Fear manifests in many forms, whether it's an insect phobia, things simply not being the way someone thinks they should be, self-loathing issues, or the fear of death – all these have occurred on my yoga retreats have inspired me to look deeper into the psychology of fear.

....People can arrive on a yoga retreat depressed, taking medication; have high levels of anxiety or stress, and difficult lives. Very few people ever admit to having mental health issues. And how are we to know how serious it really is?

....Many people think that it’s easy to just go on a ‘yoga holiday,’ for the student and teacher alike, and usually it is. So, what can go wrong on these ‘blissful’ yoga holidays? Plenty.
