My Journey to Traditional Yoga
I’ve been lucky to practice traditional yoga and learn how to teach in its home town - Rishikesh, at the foothill of the Himalayas. I completed my 500hr advanced teacher training in 2009 in an ashram with my guru/ lifetime teacher Yogrishi Visvketu. The course had a...

Ground Almonds
Everything you could wish to know about almonds – and why I love them so much. They’re a versaile superfood that should be quite at home in any kitchen.

Imbolc – Spring Begins!
This week many people around the world celebrated Imbolc, a pagan festival marking the beginnings of Spring. The word Imbolc means ’sheep’s milk’ as this would be when sheep would start lactating in preparation for their lambs. For the past few years, I’ve considered...
