Help, how do I breath… in yoga?
That’s a question that I’ve been asked more than a few times, ‘Why do you always ask us to breath through the nose?”. Many people are used to breathing through their mouth for no physiological reason, just because they associate ‘exercise’ with exhaling through the...
Habits, routines and building a ‘better’ YOU
NOTE: ’Better’ is subjective and has nothing to do with image, success or the opinion of others. By ‘better’, I mean being more satisfied with life, healthier, happier and knowing that you are doing your best, and following your unique path. I’ve been talking for a...
To Yin or not to Yin yoga… is that a question?

Is this the fountain of youth?
I am in my 50s. There, I said it. To be precise, 51 as I’m writing this. Soon 52… and so on, because if we are lucky, we grow old. But we seem to forget that, and especially in the west, we try to resist the passage of time instead of embrace it. We arm ourselves with...
Are yoga backbends safe or should I never do them?
Backbends are an essential part of any physical yoga practice but it can feel very scary or un-safe when we suffer from back pain. So, should we never do them? When we think of ‘backbending’ in yoga, images of gymnasts, or circus performers touching the back of their...
