| I started going to yoga classes as a teenager, dragged along by my mum. In the years since, I have plenty to be thankful for, as regular practice has not only improved my posture but also lowered my stress levels. I was reminded of these benefits when reading the feature below on how yoga can help reduce anxiety. Also in this edition is an exploration of how once-neglected railway stations are being revived across the US, and an adorable video of giant pandas making their public debut. I'd love to know how you're finding The Essential List, so please share any feedback here. I'll be back in your inbox on Friday. | |
