By Dublin, Humour, Ireland, Mindfulness, Motivational, Rachelle Hicks, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

On Monday, a friend of mine recounted a Skype conversation she had with a fellow yoga teacher who is taking a year to live and teach in Peru. This Peru-based friend told her about a weekend excursion to Bolivia where, for the first time in 5 months, she saw television. She set herself up with a hotel room, donned a robe and lounged on the bed while watching The Devil Wears Prada. It was a real treat away from her…

By Dublin, Matt Quigley, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Teachers, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

I don’t pretend to be Eckhart Tolle or DeePak Chopra (if you don’t know who these people are don’t worry about it).

6 Reasons To Go Vegan Or Plant Based

By Dublin, Food, HappyFood, Ireland, Mindfulness, Motivational, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

Jenny from HappyFood here. I’ve been working in HappyFood since February 2015. I am currently in my final year studying BSc Culinary Entrepreneurship. I’ve been working in kitchens for four years now, but became so disillusioned with the food industry when I always had to work with animal products, and the menus were always heavily based on meat, fish and dairy with little or no healthy or plant based options.

By Asana, Dublin, Matt Quigley, Motivational, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

When I did my first training to become a Yoga Teacher I had never been to a Yoga Studio and I didn’t have a clue about the whole ‘Yoga Industry’ as it wasn’t something I was interested in. I was just interested in the practice and didn’t care whether I was practicing beside 30 men or 30 women. And it’s just as well as when I arrived at Anand Prikash Ashram in Rishikesh I was the only man in our…

How The Heck Do I Start Practicing Mindfulness? And Why Do I Need to?

By Dublin, Matt Quigley, Meditation, Mindfulness, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

Wouldn’t it be great to be completely aware of our actions rather than just acting them out? Or better still wouldn’t it be amazing if we learned to stop ourselves before we said or did something that we’ll either immediately or shortly after regret? And if you don’t know what I’m talking about at all maybe you know about thinking about something that worries you or stresses you out to the point where you don’t feel like you’re anything else…
