Inside Yoga 330 28/6/2024 Disclaimer before I kick off: this is not about Euros currently taking place on football pitches in Germany!

more >Inside Yoga 328 (7/1/2024) Welcome to 2024. A new year, a fresh start, time for a new year’s resolution, and many more ideas surround the new year, because for us, this day represents something new, a chance to make changes, but why do we place such importance on just another day?

As a society, we have forgotten about convalescence which was historically – that is, up until the […]
