Winter warmers

Winter warmers

My last blog was all about yoga practises to keep you healthy this winter and I promised you some non yoga winter warmers for this blog – which I would like to point out, do not involve alcohol (!!), as some of you suggested!

Winter warmers

Winter is a time of rest and consolidation – recovering from the autumn harvest and preparing for the energetic burst into spring.

Snoopy enjoying some "me" time

Continuing my theme from last time, on making time for yourself, I thought I would look at some of the ways Dru Yoga can help us find space…and we probably need some space more than ever right now! I often have to remind myself of the benefits I experience if I put aside time just for more…

Making time for yourself is not selfish!

Candle flame

  We are rapidly approaching that silly, busy time of year again. Already my diary is starting to fill up (I am such a social butterfly!) and I notice that there isn’t a lot of space left.

Pukka Practices!

Autumn leaves

A couple of months ago the lovely people at Pukka Herbs asked me to ”test drive” and then review, honestly, a couple of their products and as I was planning an Autumn cleanse anyway (which I mentioned in my last blog), I was more than happy to do this. So here are my thoughts on their products and how they more…

Top tips for staying tip top this autumn

Autumn energy

Well, we are definitely into Autumn now. The leaves are turning and starting to fall, the nights are drawing in, there’s a cool nip in the air and I’m back in thermals (actually I’ve hardly been out of them this year!).
