HOW DID YOU KNOW you’d entered perimenopause? I saw a social media comment recently  where a lady shared that she was recently ‘diagnosed’ with perimenopause and she’d cried. I can’t imagine how upsetting it must have been for her to have such news delivered in a...

Menopause

Not Waving

Not Waving But Drowning Is the title of one of my favourite poems. It’s about a drowning man, thrashing about in the water, who was mistaken for waving. The poem by Stevie Smith touched me deeply the first time I read it and still does. Perhaps it touches me because...

The Perfect Diet

Do Yoga Be Happy

 

Fast forward 7 years and here comes the game changer:

 

In 2013 at the age of 46, I went to live and study in a small Ashram in Kerala, South India. I came back certified to teach Yoga and having started an ongoing love affair with India.
