Yoga Beyond the Studio

Today I’m home with a sick little boy. You know how it is when you have a sick child: You are fully present and it’s about all the snuggles and hugs, all the warm milk with honey, all the storybooks and movies with popcorn. Still, while buddy is napping, I can’t help it but thinking: […]

The Not So Green World of Greenwashing

At SeaBerry Studios I teach how to make skincare products with kind ingredients. I really love how empowered people feel after their first workshop. It’s more than just making skincare.

Weekly Snaps – Easter Traditions

Easter Bunny doesn’t come to Portugal. He doesn’t hide chocolate eggs for children to find. In Portugal for Easter, we eat almonds (candied, chocolate covered, hand-painted in sugar and plain almonds), we spend the day with family and some of us go to Mass. The Portuguese in me is really uncomfortable with all the fictional […]
