Happy New Year: Reflecting Gives Perspective
Reflecting at the end of last year gave me perspective on a few things. Ever notice how two people can see the same thing and have completely different interpretations of exactly the same event? I’ve been reflecting on this recently, as it’s quite removed from the way we often think. Often in science, things are […]
Self care is non-negotiable
Many of us spend our time running around, and tend to forget about ourselves and our self care, and place ourselves last. This can be to the detriment of our own health and wellbeing. Self care is however, non-negotiable. When we don’t look after ourselves, our health, both mental and physical can suffer. I know […]

Yin Roller Method
Yesterday, I had the honour of attending a workshop at Estuary Yoga Space with Michelle Redman from Vitality Moves, and Karina Smith. I will gladly say that Michelle, who came up with the idea of blending Yin yoga with a foam roller, is a genius. As a yoga and barre teacher, and all around active […]
Taking care of yourself
Self care is a radical thought in this day and age. So often we don’t take proper care of ourselves. We get caught up in doing, and we don’t take proper care of ourselves. I’ve noticed in the last few weeks, that whenever I compromise on my self care, my skin starts to suffer. By […]
Yoga for golf?
Yoga for Golf? It may seem strange, but I was thinking today how yoga can really help your golf game. How? A lot of the power for a golf swing actually comes from the core, and a lot of yoga poses focus on strengthening the core. Breathing can play a big role in steadying the […]
Equal and opposite forces
Its surprising how often equal and opposite forces are at play, even when it comes to skincare and makeup. Recently, I’d been struggling with a few things with my skin, namely some congestion around my nose. I’d also been struggling a really tight hip and ilotibial band or ITB, which were affecting my yoga and […]
