Mindfullness

Each moment of each day forms part of our ongoing journey of life and into discovering who we are, what we want to achieve, how we want to feel and who we want to become. A few years ago, my journey to veganism began without even realising it, and it’s a path that has changed

If you’re new to the concept of goat yoga, brace yourself: this is one wellness phenomenon that has quickly gained popularity across the country—and it doesn’t seem like it’s going away anytime soon. In an age of new wellness trends cropping up on a weekly basis, you might be wondering how goat yoga has managed

One of the best strategies I have found for creating sustainable, healthy eating habits is setting some time aside each week to get ahead and do some meal prep. Yes, I am talking good old-fashioned Sunday evening batch cooking, roasting, peeling and jaring – grandma style! Learning the art of batch cooking has SO many

What’s not to love about these bars? Plus, they are vegan-friendly, full of healthy fats, gluten-free and a great pre or post workout snack, afternoon treat with a cup of tea or even a tasty dessert option. These bars were made one afternoon where I craved something chocolate-y and peanut butter-y – like most afternoons,

Air pollution is one of the biggest health concerns of our generation, with more than two million Londoners living in areas that exceed legal limits for NO2 where 50 percent of its toxic air pollution is caused by vehicles. According to a recent TfL survey almost one in two Londoners did not realise vehicles were

When Lauren Singer goes food shopping, the people behind the counter already know she’s the one who’s going to insist on using her own reusable containers. “They know me now,” says Lauren. “When I go to buy things now they already know that I don’t want packaging. It’s just a nice relationship to have.” It’s

Whether you call it ecotourism, traveling green, or ethical travel, maintaining a mindful attitude as you trek across the globe helps to minimize your carbon footprint. Every action we take directly impacts the environment. If we advocate a mindful way of life, it’s only fair to extend that philosophy into how we travel. There is hope

When we’re in the mood to move prana (energy) through our bodies, there’s no substitute for dynamic movement. In fact, that’s an integral part of any yoga practice: We can’t sit in meditation or find the space to go within ourselves without first working out the stress and distractions we accumulate as we live our

For many of us, hitting snooze on the alarm clock can be just another part of a mundane morning routine, especially when we’d rather be soaking up the summer sun than heading into the office. But what if your breakfast was the motivation you needed to rise early? As veganism becomes more mainstream, so have creative

We have workouts tailored to our goals. We have meals fine-tuned for maximum nutrition. We know how important sleep is (and sometimes we even log the recommended hours!). But taking time to rest—where is that in our weekly health goals? In a go-go-go world hyperfocused on drive and results, it’s no surprise the importance of

Love it or hate it, Burning Man is on its way to becoming a household term. Old-schoolers who “were there then” bemoan the establishment’s takeover of the once renegade art festival—often in well-established publications. The first Man burned back in 1986, before some of the festival’s most reverent devotees were breathing air, let alone flames.

There’s no shortage of reasons to replace or—at the very least—cut down on how much meat we consume. In August, the United Nations released a report that called out how a plant-based diet can help to curb climate change. Vegan yogis will tout the principle of ahimsa, the first yama outlined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Once upon a time, when I worked my corporate job, nutrition and a healthy diet were the single least important things on my to-do list. I had far too many emails, meetings, and places to be to prioritize my meals. Looking back now, I laugh while simultaneously wanting to hug my former self for not

Climate change has become one of the most prevalent topics over the past few years, raising concerns about the future of the air we breathe and the future of our planet. We’re encouraged to reduce our carbon footprint, to promote and incite change, however, this can sometimes feel difficult and daunting to achieve. Not sure

Committing to a 10-Day Yoga Challenge is, well, a challenge. I spend many hours a week teaching yoga and although I practice regularly, I discovered some basic tools were in order for developing the self-discipline I needed to stick with it. Whether this is your first Challenge or your 100th, we could all use a

One of my most favorite summer things to attend is the Wanderlust 4 day-festival. Why? The list is endless. Not only is it held in some of the world’s most beautiful locales, you have the opportunity to learn from some of the best wellness practitioners, meditation guides, and yoga instructors in the world who come

Back in the day, the word “foodie” used to be synonymous with guilt and gut-busting culinary combos: Think rich, decadent meals that carried the banners of “sinful” and “cheat meal.” These days, the so-called foodie movement is considerably more discerning when it comes to what’s delicious. And as any food-loving yogi can tell you, a

Donovan’s passion for yoga was lit nearly 20 years ago after a kundalini practice in New York City. That initial ignition still fuels the expansion that continues today through practicing, teaching and creating. The culmination of those years learning and absorbing so many modalities gave him the inspiration that led to the creation of Amplified

Since David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II highlighted its devastating impact on our marine life, there’s been a lot of talk about plastic. From the banning of plastic straws, to the widespread adoption of reusable bottles and coffee cups, we’re slowly waking up to the problem with our plastic consumption. But while we’re busy re-thinking plastic

Yes, if you go on any diet you will lose weight. However about 95% of people who lose weight will regain it within 1-5 years. A diet is a great temporary food plan. It can be very successful for achieving a specific result for an event such as a wedding or holiday but it rarely

August marks the end of summer. As we enjoy the long days of the final month and begin to prepare for fall, it brings to mind the idea of balance.
