I am sure that am not the only person on this planet who has had problems with switching off, unwinding and letting go of stress. I have a tendency of over-exerting myself and putting too many things on my list of things to do. Despite having practised yoga for a few years, owning my […]
In the winter of 2014-2015, I was really fed up with being sick all winter. I was full of cold and cough and I could not get rid of it. I tried every over-the-counter medication for cold and cough and nothing really worked. I went through a stressful period of moving home in a […]
I exhibited at the Brighton Yoga Festival last month and found myself questioning whether I am now a yoga groupie and whether there is such thing as a yogalebrity.

I went to an event last week and one of the speakers gave a talk on the importance of detox and de-cluttering. Before the talk, I didn’t think I would learn anything new. Don’t we all know that there are things which we need to get rid of? I practise Bikram yoga. I eat well […]
Bikram yoga teachers often tell new students that they will never forget their first Bikram class. I agree – it was challenging and I laughed out loud when the teacher told us to do locust pose [poorna – salabhasana] (face down on the mat, hands and elbows under our bodies whilst we lift our legs straight and up).
