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…
Jenny from HappyFood here. Iâve been working in HappyFood since February 2015. I am currently in my final year studying BSc Culinary Entrepreneurship. Iâve 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…
Yoga: Day and Night Iâm currently attending four yoga classes a week at YogaHub as well performing a lot of practice at home. Iâm also in the middle of the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training course at YogaHub which started in September. The reason I am mentioning the above is because I want to explain that my body is getting a lot of use and with that comes tight and tired muscles. Yoga has and is becoming more and more beneficial to both my…
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…

I absolutely adore dogs as they are a constant source of love and amusement when you need it most. I also believe that dogs provide us with some valuable life lessons to help us live happier lives. Here are a few âdoggy inspiredâ mantras that can help you to get the most out of life. 1. Be present Whether it is chasing a cat, begging for treats, chewing on your favourite shoes or simply enjoying a daily walk with their human, dogs live in the…
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…
