Exercise has never been a chore for me. It’s how I start my day and I look forward to it, which I know some people will find hard to believe. Just a few short years ago I had quite a weekly routine. I would do two yoga classes, at least one long hike and between four to six gym sessions …
When I was a child and used to do ballet, all my class mates had beautifully toned legs with shapely calves and thighs. I had two skinny little twigs and seemed incapable of developing muscle no matter what I did. I had muscle envy! And I still do. Some people (remember Madonna’s arms?) just look at a weight and get …
The legendary Philip Kingsley (he coined the phrase “bad hair day”) founded his world renowned hair clinic and treated everyone from Audrey Hepburn to the regular man in the street. And he was loved by them all. Now his daughter Anabel is following in his footsteps and has become a trichologist herself. Here she gives us some valuable insight into …
I bet this title got your attention? I know it would mine. A long life is probably what most of us desire above all else, closely followed by good health throughout the years. After all, who wants to be too sick to enjoy it? And of course, we also want to look good in our dotage. Is this all too …
I know it’s only September and winter viruses seem a long way off but these days they can strike at any time. The illness I talk about below in my article for Natural Health magazine struck in early summer when I least expected it.

The In-Sync Diet may seem like a regular diet book, but that’s actually not the case. There’s so much more to a healthy weight and a healthy body and mind, than what we eat. Our bodies are made up of incredibly complex systems and they are all connected. If one part is out of sync, it affects all the other …

Sound heavenly? Welcome to FloVibe, the very first festival of it’s kind On top of this there will be workshops of all descriptions and talks ranging …
Exercising is a beautiful gift to yourself. I know it doesn’t always seem that way and it just seems easier not to do it sometimes, but like all good things in life, it’s a discipline. And a little discipline can go a long way. If you want hard evidence that people who are active age better, just look at how …
This last week came to an abrupt halt for me when I slammed my finger in the car door. For 3 days I was in and out of hospitals, stumbling around in a fog of pain, whoozy on painkillers which ended up making me feel really ill. If that wasn’t bad enough I was put on antibiotics, given a tetanus …
After many years of doing regular Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, I noticed a Hot Yoga Studio had opened in my area and decided to give it a try. I wasn’t actually sure what it was to be honest. Is Hot Yoga basically Bikram but with a different name? I hoped not, because the one Bikram class I tried years ago, …
