As much as I love sitting on a beach in the sunshine reading a good book, I don’t think that I could do it for a whole week- I would go a little stir-crazy! It’s definitely important to relax, but for me a holiday has to include some activity and exploration. I love seeing a new … More Keeping Active with Healthy Start Holidays
I’ve always thought we could do with having Wednesday’s off, splitting the week into two more manageable chunks with a lovely little break in the middle. Lou Lovegrove has got the right idea in that case! She offers mid-week yoga retreats at her home studio in Eastbourne, for a mini-reset and escape from the 9-5 (or … More Mid-Week Yoga Retreat
I find it hard to sit and do nothing. Even when I’m relaxing on the sofa watching a movie on Netflix, I’m usually multi-tasking on my laptop or my phone, sometimes writing a shopping list, but never just sitting and watching! Why is that?! Why are we physically incapable of stopping and giving something our … More Spa Break at Champneys Tring
A week or so ago I headed down for a British seaside break in Whitstable – a gorgeous balance of indulgent relaxation, and fun activity! I stayed at the Marine Hotel, which I can totally recommend. My room had a bay window with sea view, and the food (and wine) was lovely. The Whitstable parkrun … More Cycling in Whitstable with Kent Cycle Hire
The London Outer Orbital Path, or London LOOP as it’s known, is a 150 mile signed walk along public footpaths, and through parks, woods and fields around the edge of Outer London. It’s handily divided into 24 sections of varying lengths- I picked up the guidebook a while ago and have been intending to explore it … More Walking the London Loop near Croydon
I’ve been in my new job for a month now – my, how that’s flown by! I’ve been so busy, trying to take everything in and do the best I can in a new role that I haven’t really taken any time to process where I’m at now, and my fitness has definitely taken a … More Revitalise Detox Yoga Retreat with Sally Parkes
I’m off on another Sally Parkes yoga retreat this weekend at Brooklands Barn in Arundel, West Sussex- I had an amazing time at the Relax and Restore retreat in March and can’t wait to hit the yoga mat, escape to the country and chill out again! I thought I’d share some of my essential items … More What to Pack for a Yoga Retreat in the UK
A couple of weekends back, I spent a lovely relaxing few days at Florence House in Seaford, on the Sussex coast. Along with Yoga and Pilates classes, there was tasty home-cooked vegetarian food, hours spent reading my Kindle, and plenty of walks along the clifftops and pebbled peach in the sunshine. My friend and I … More Sally Parkes Relax and Restore Yoga Retreat
I thought some of you might be interested in my post-Ealing Half Marathon recovery, as it seems to have left my legs feeling pretty good within the space of a week… Immediately after crossing the finish line: – at least half an hour of stretching on the grass in Lammas Park – drank 2 bottles … More Ealing Half Marathon Recovery
Aside from the running what else did we get up to? I’d never been to Geneva before, and was really impressed with how easy it was to navigate on foot. It’s reasonably small with most things within walking distance, and the airport was a short (not even 10minute) train ride away from our hotel. Most … More Geneva Race-cation: Top Things to See & Do
