2019-06-10T08:06:03+00:00

Stumbling up the path of yoga. Goa, January 2018 I’m not sure if I could have been in more of a mess when I turned up to the first morning of my month of yoga teacher training at Sampoorna Yoga in Goa. I could dance around the point here to never truly land on it, but to put it bluntly, I have never disliked myself as much as I did on the lead up to getting on the plane to head off to begin the next chapter of my life, a chapter that once had been a fantastical fictional dream, a faraway glisten [...]

2019-06-10T08:01:20+00:00

How Yoga can Help with Shin Splints Shin splints are pain in the shin bones. This pain is brought on by exercise, particularly that involves repetitive weight or impact on the legs such as running.

How Yoga can help with Stress

2019-06-10T09:44:33+00:00

How Yoga can help with Stress Our bodies are designed to deal with stress and to protect us in stressful situations.

These physical effects fade when the threat disappears but if you are constantly under pressure then the body stays in this alerted state and it can be harmful for the body. Physically affects such as headaches, muscle tension or sleep problems can [...]
