Ayurvedic Recipes

If you love practicing yoga and are wondering how to incorporate yogic principles into other parts of your life, then maybe it's time to start bringing a little Ayurvedic magic into your kitchen! (And if you're wondering what the heck Ayurveda is, it might be worthwhile checking out my What is Ayurveda? post for a quick overview).

Tuesday Inspiration

Ah the little things in life... a good book, a glass of wine, an extra hour's sleep. How often do we really stop to appreciate life's little pleasures? 


When we overload our lives with frenetic activity, we make it very difficult to enjoy the everyday moments that should be making us happy - we choose the TV over the book, we choose a bottle of wine over a glass and we wring every last minute out of our day, often at the expense of a good night's sleep.


It may not seem important at the time, but a good life is made up of small, precious moments - so today, why not spend an hour with a friend catching up, or browsing through your favourite bookstore. Maybe you've been meaning to catch that one film for ages, or maybe you haven't told your partner how much you love them lately. Whatever those small things are, make time for them today, tomorrow and every day after that and then maybe one day you'll look back and realise that you took care of the big things, even if they seemed like they were only little at the time!


Wishing you an inspirational Tuesday,

Anti-Gravity Yoga

Lately I've been hearing a lot about anti-gravity yoga, a fusion technique that combines dance, Pilates and calisthenics with yoga and claims to relieve compressed joints, whilst re-aligning the entire body. This style of yoga is practiced in a sort of soft trapeze that can be used as a hammock - the type you might see in a Cirque du Soleil performance! It certainly sounds interesting, so I've been on the hunt for some more information...

North Coast Dreaming

Today I'm sharing a couple of snaps from my blissful one-week trip up the North Coast of NSW. I was only away for six nights but it felt like weeks - surely a sign of a successful trip! 


There are so many reasons to love the North Coast. The beaches, the hippie vibe, good food, the slow pace and did I mention the beaches?! Long, golden sandy stretches framed by palms and pines, no crowds and blissfully warm water... mmm... Where was I? Oh right, my trip!


Three nights in sleepy Yamba and three in buzzing Byron Bay struck just the right balance between fun and total relaxation. These two towns were the perfect location for my favourite holiday activities: reading, eating, shopping and lazing around on the beach (luckily for my boyfriend the surf was incredible too!). We had a great time exploring all the amazing cafes, restaurants and shops in and around Byron and Yamba so it seems only fair that I share a few tips on where to go and what to do next time you find yourself heading North!
