I just arrived in the door this evening after facing my twice daily bike ride from my apartment in Sydney Parade to my place of work on Harcourt Street. Being a young man from Sligo it took me until my late twenties to eventually pluck up the courage to invest in a pair of wheels and venture out on to the mean streets of Dublin City. Now, I have only been cycling to work for the past 5 months but during that time I have…

Ever wondered what Om means and why we chant it? The fantastic Rachelle breaks it down in this short video 🙂Â
Finding the right therapy When you are struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, stress or any other life challenge that has a negative affect on your emotional and physical state, there are many therapies out there that can be beneficial. In my experience I have tried countless expensive therapies in order to resolve the chronic pain issues that I have had in the past. On reflection some of these therapies absolutely helped but the most helpful therapies were the ones I could avail of…
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…

I am currently three sessions in to the 200 hour yoga teacher training course at YogaHub. I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience so far and I’m delighted that I decided to sign up to do the course. Before I enrolled on the course I was quite apprehensive about embarking upon my yoga teacher training journey. I suppose I was scared and fearful for a variety of reasons. The main fears that almost held me back included the following: Fear of standing up in…
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). Sure I own a Yoga Studio (YogaHub) and have been a Yoga Teacher since about 2008 and although you might think all I eat is lettuce, I can wrap both legs around my head and I meditate from 3am to 4.30am every morning after standing on my head  I can assure you I struggle with routine just as…
1) Just sit with yourself. Feel stuff. Experience being human. In the video I refer to the American comedian Louis C.K. as he talks to late night show host Conan O’Brien. His point is that “you need to build the ability to be yourself and not be doing something. The ability to just sit there—that’s being a person, right?” He goes on to explain an afternoon when he was driving and a Bruce Springsteen song came on. The song brought…
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. So naturally when I heard about a vegan restaurant in…
