Are you doing enough for your BONES?! I’ve been trying to be a bit kinder to my bones lately. I have had a couple of bone density scans (if you haven’t had one, I definitely recommend it, esp if you are over 50), which have indicated I have osteopenia – what you may ask, is…
Feeling as dusty as your wine rack? Then join me on the year-long alcohol-free challenge. Here’s why I’m doing this: I consider myself healthy – I’m a yoga teacher, I eat a great diet, I exercise, meditate and all the rest. I also work really hard and so I deserve a glass of wine every,…
I discovered how to make this delicious warming chai on an Ayurvedic retreat with Robyn Lynch. Here’s the recipe with a few extra additions!

These date bliss balls are absolutely divine – easy to make and have no added sugar to a really health blast of energy. Dates are particularly good if you are pregnant – one study found that women who ate six dates a day in the four weeks leading up to their due date had shorter…
Not sure about you, but I am constantly on the look out for interesting breakfast ideas and I’ve just discovered a delicious recipe which I’m loving right now. I do love bread, but my body doesn’t like it much, so I have been experimenting with lots of different gluten and wheat-free breads and have recently…
I just LOVE this recipe given to me by my lovely yoga student, Anita. It’s gluten free (but also diary and nut free). It’s so easy and quick to make and it tastes fabulous. All my kids will eat it (which is a massive bonus) although sometimes I have to hide it from them so…
Ok – I admit, I’m a convert. I feel as if I found a secret club and then discovered it wasn’t so secret. Hoards of women (I’m sure there are some men, but I am yet to find them) are espousing the virtues of these plant extracts on their blogs, diffusing exotic blends in their…
Ok – so these bliss balls (despite tasting delish) were actually a narrowly averted kitchen DISASTER! I was busy making my lovely friend and fellow Yogi Alexi Pallpratt’s quinoa, fig and chocolate slices for my Mums and Bubs yoga class, when I glanced up at the clock to discover I had just ten minutes to…
These are delicious, easy to make and perfect for kids lunchboxes as they are nut free. They also contain lemon essential oil – an antioxidant which is up-lifting, so great for the winter blues.

Ingredients: 1 cup of cashew nuts 1 cup of dates 2/3 cut of dessicated coconut 2 tbl spoons of raw cacao pinch of…
This is the ultimate sweet treat – and it’s good for you! (Well kind of…). Inspired by Simply Wholefoods, I have my own take on this delicious and nutritious recipe. I’ve made this for my students at yoga, so now you can make it at home. Enjoy 🙂 Ingredients – the base: 2 cups shredded…
You’ll love this delicious raw cacao treat – I adapted from Wholefood Simply (a great website with amazing recipes) I’ve just substituted the almond butter for a combination of almond, coconut and cacao spread made by Mayver’s and Natural’s (by Melrose) ABC spread – which is almonds, brazil and cashew nuts. That is mainly because…
