It’s beautiful in its own right and has something to share with you. Don’t turn away. Sink deeper and as you…
So bored you want to scream? Here’s the fix.

Embracing the Feminine in our Yoga Practice
“It is important to restore the essential balance in the world between the masculine and feminine energies. The bird of humanity cannot fly with one wing” Vivekananda A lot of the world we live in is masculine and this is also reflected in the yoga on offer, which traditionally has a strong masculine slant. There is a growing movement for balance – both internally and in the world around us. Integrating a feminine yoga practice is a way of redressing…
The serene power of finding your flow
Well for starters, NO ONE wants a meaningless, stressful, unsatisfying life. Actually I’ll caveat that – some people rather like to have something to justifiably whinge about… heck we all enjoy it sometimes (if we’re honest ;).

Why addiction is not always bad for you
What do you do when you love something and the ‘world’ tells you ‘but you shouldn’t do that – it’s so baaaaad for you’? Do you succomb and say ‘ok, you know best‘. Or do you say ‘wait a second’ – which is a nice, polite and Buddhist bunny mindfullness alternative to the more commonly used ‘f*ck-off’ 🙂 – my life, my needs, what’s actually right for me in this situ?
