You probably have come across this term by now, Emotional Eating. And if you haven not, you probably have eaten “emotionally” at some point (like most of us, humble human beings). Who can blame us? Food is great! It is comforting, satisfying, rewarding, it fills our bellies, reminds us of good times and memories… In … More Understanding Emotional Eating
Here is part two of my informal podcast series. As mentioned on my previous post, I’m becoming a big fan of podcasts. While in my last post I talked about my favourite podcasts on relationships, this list is about my top podcasts on health and wellbeing – so here are some of the programs I’m … More 3 Favourite podcasts on health and wellbeing
This is one of those posts that I actually wrote a while ago and I’m about to re-visit, re-write and finally post. It is about yoga and Instagram and the whole culture around it, which I’m in between two minds about. I warn you now, it is a pretty long post, sorry about that! It … More Reservations about Instayoga and 3 yogi-types I unfollowed
This one makes post number 50, and it might be a special one. Mainly because I haven’t written for more than six months now, since February this year.

In almost every class I have been, the teacher repeats to us that we don’t have to strictly follow the flow. We can rest, or speed up, as we need. In life, like in yoga, we … More Be Accepting – It is what it is
Here is the second post of the ‘Belikeyoga series’, today featuring Flexibility. Last month I talked about being strong, and this time I wanted to explore thoughts on being flexible. Anybody who has seen yoga live, or in pictures, can see how flexible yogis are. Back-bends, splits, forward-folds, twists… the list is long and challenging. … More Be Flexible – I bend so I don’t break
Book reviews is something I wanted to be part of this blog. I actually have a list of books I want to talk about here, but when I am in front of the blank page, I want to summarise them so well, without forgetting any of the details, that the whole thing ends up becoming complex and too time-consuming.
