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 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…

And it’s just as well as when I arrived at Anand Prikash Ashram in Rishikesh I was the only man in our…

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…

To be honest, I had no idea what endorphins were until I did a bit of research into natural healing. After doing the research and putting a few things into action, I have realised the astonishing power endorphins have in relation to overall health and happiness. What Are Endorphins? Endorphins are the bodyâs natural opiates, designed to relieve stress and enhance pleasure and happiness. These endorphins are chemicals that are released in your brain during certain activities. There are various ways to…
So it’s a week after my first blog and setting the intention to stop complaining and I did not think I’d come to such a massive realisation. Or realisations even! This year for me has been all about setting intentions and trying to be a better version of myself. The major wins have been in seeing just how powerful setting intentions are. What I first noticed after setting the intention to stop complaining, as I wrote about in Part 1,…
