Here's a list of words in Sanskrit — a language of ancient India with a history going back about 3,500 years — I wish I knew before going to my first class and that might help you be a little bit less confused if you're just deciding to go for your first class or you've heard these before and were wondering what they mean.

If I have to choose between quantity and quality of the yoga leggings I buy, I’d choose the latter. I would much rather have a few amazing pieces, knowing where they were made, how, by whom and from what kind of material. Collecting large amounts of poor quality leggings that were made for a big corporation in a factory in a third world country, with the minimum wage of workers far below anything decent, and atrocious working conditions, just isn't my thing.

Here are the five things you should ask yourself when you’re buying presents ...

Our mornings set the tone for the day and I guess the important question is: what kind of tone do we want for our day? One of calm and focus or one of business and running out of time? I know the kind of day(s) I want to have ... days of connection and presence, no matter what I’m doing.

This is my go-to anti-cold weapon whenever I start feeling the alarming achiness in my bones and the headache creeping up my neck and behind my eyes. You know, that lousy pre-cold, pre-sickness feeling. I've been using this vitamin bomb for so long now, that I can hardly remember the last time I was properly ill!

Unfortunately there's no magical cure that would make this cold season go away (but if you do know of one, do let me know, pretty please) so how can we make sure we are doing what we can in order to prepare for these colder months as best as we can, keep Vata in balance and maintain our well-being?
