My last “Sustainable Christmas Presents” post was written three years ago. Reading it now am struck by how much things have changed for the better, in terms of sustainable living and life choices being in the minds of every day consumer! Having the full information on how, where and by whom items are produced is so much easier. Those of us who will be in last minute rush…
The end of the year holidays are a good opportunity to slow down and catch up with some long reads. I have a habit of bookmarking all the interesting articles I come across, especially if they are related to the business and trends in wellness and yoga.

Cue a message to the “Finnish people in Paris” Facebook page (note to self, 1am on a Saturday morning is probably not the best time for any question) and googling along the lines “best yoga classes in…
Here’s a round up of few yoga articles & sources I return quite often. Some of you have asked more information about the benefits of yoga and how does it compare to other physical activities so hopefully you’ll find these as useful as I have. On Philosophy: ”The Eight Limbs, The Core of Yoga” by William J.D. Doran. Probably a two-three pager if you were to print this…
