The brutal truth about meditation from one of my favourite writers, Mark Manson:⠀ ⠀ ⠀“People often lament that they’re ‘not good’ at meditation. ⠀ ⠀There is no getting good. That’s the whole point. ⠀ ⠀You are supposed to suck at it. ⠀ ⠀Just accept the suckage, embrace the suckage. Love the suckage. ⠀ ⠀ When [...]
Life can be crazy busy at times. Between work, family, keeping healthy, commuting and socialising we can find ourselves being so busy just going through the motions. But how often do you take the time outside your daily routine to question what you’re doing? Or how well you’re doing? Or more importantly, why you’re doing what you’re [...]
Whenever we start something new, it's natural to wonder when we'll start seeing the benefits. It's really common for people to do a couple of yoga/meditation classes, get frustrated that they're not immediately enlightened and give up. But before you feel better, you will feel less bad (if that makes sense). The loss of the [...]

I have an embarrassing habit I need to confess. I often buy things I don’t use. It’s terribly wasteful, I know, but sometimes I can’t help myself. I’ve bought equipment I've never used Books I’ve never read I’ve paid for training courses I haven’t finished It’s a terrible waste. And the one thing all these [...]
I'm often asked if yoga will help people with anxiety. And as tempted as I am to say, 'yes, yoga helps with anxiety', it's not so straightforward. The truth is, anxiety will often get worse before it gets better. If there was a quick fix for anxiety, we would have found it by now. Yoga [...]
I recently attended an event on the Art and Science of Relaxation which incorporated evidence-based relaxation techniques and an introduction to psychoneuroimmunology (aka the mind-body connection). It was fascinating and confirmed what yogis have known for thousands of years: that the mind and body are connected and our thoughts and emotions affect our health. As a [...]
