With so much information out there, how do you know whats right for you? Were bringing you some protein facts!... How much should you eat? Protein intake ranging between 1.2 and 1.6g per kg of body weight is the most effective in decreasing fat mass while maintaining/increasing muscle mass. This level of protein intake has also been shown to reduce cravings, improve satiety and increase energy levels Is there such a thing as too much protein? Yes! Excess protein can cause weight gain, constipation, diarrhoea and increase cardiovascular risk. What types of food should I be eating to get my protein? Try and stay away from protein sources that are high in saturated fat (fast food, cakes, pastries etc) and lean towards foods such as eggs, seeds, chickpeas, nuts, salmon and greens If you have any other protein questions, leave them below!

21.01.2022 Did you know that bad posture can increase feelings of depression, drain your energy and cut off your circulation? Working at a desk and lounging around at home are prime causes for slouching and bad posture, and it's something that so many of us suffer from (sometimes without even realising). These 5 easy tips can be done at work or home, and will help you to improve your posture - and say goodbye to slouching for good ... Keep your ears in line with your shoulders when watching TV or looking at a screen. Pull back your shoulder blades - this will open up your chest and avoid rounded shoulders. Uncross your legs when sitting - both legs should be flat on the ground when sitting on a chair. Take breaks - ensure you are getting up and moving your body, regularly. Do exercises when sitting for long periods - this can include arm, neck and leg stretches or even desk yoga! Did you find these tips helpful?

20.01.2022 Controlling your breathing isnt just vital for Yoga practice, it is also important for stress management and controlling your emotions Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in your body, as it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. Youll notice your increased heart rate slows down gradually and your stress levels are managed! Here is one of our favourite breathing exercises to practice deep, belly breathing:... - Put one hand on your stomach just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest - Take a deep breath in through your nose and let your stomach push your hand out (your chest should stay still) - Breathe out through pursed lips. Feel the hand on your stomach go in and use it to push all the air out Do this breathing a few times and take your time - then whenever you are stressed you can go back to this exercise and use it to relax

15.01.2022 While workouts are traditionally known to increase your heart rate and build your muscles through heavy weights - there are *huge* benefits to slow, controlled exercise using only your body weight Your muscles have to work intensely when you transition between slow and sustained postures - while if you are moving fast your muscles have to work a lot less. We know that yoga teachers go on and on about your breathing - but your breath is one of the most important parts of yo...ur yoga practice.

09.01.2022 To our lovely community, We have recently discovered some of you are not receiving our waitlist notifications, or are seeing them too late.

This will be commencing from Friday 14th August.... If you no longer wish to attend your classes we are asking you to please cancel your waitlist spot. This also means that late cancellations will no longer be possible. (Charges apply as per usual).
