25.01.2022 Shantihi! That means peace in Sanskrit. We have taken an interest in yoga since the beginning of last year, even though we seldom write about this topic. The roots of yoga are associated with traditional Ayurvedic medicine and the Raw Food Diet. Today’s republished article is precisely centred on that topic. Enjoy: The word Ayurveda is from the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit, and literally means "Knowledge of Life". [ 485 more words ] http://blog.granitefitness.com.au/exploring-ayurveda-and-t/
24.01.2022 Merry Christmas! Or Happy Boxing Day! Have we got a gift for you today or what! Time for something a little out of the ordinary.

Nevertheless, we’re breaking out of tradition today and putting a short twenty-minute routine you can try. [ 530 more words ] http://blog.granitefitness.com.au/try-twenty-minute-workout/

20.01.2022 This might be the first post of its kind, and it might be perceived as a little emo on the surface, but really it is more contemplative in nature, as you will read at the end of the post. I recently lost a Swiss Ball (also known as a Stability Ball), which is something people wouldn’t bat an eyelid at, but for me, I was upset for a while, as in like an hour.

14.01.2022 Right, we are deviating from our usual content today to talk about mental health. Mind you, mental health is just as important as physical health these days.
