Sahara’s day on a plate

SAHARA_ROSE_085

I haven’t met Sahara but I do believe we have spoken over a dozen times. We connected on instagram upon Sara Awwad’s insistence and I loved what Sahara was doing in the wellness sphere with her website and her counseling sessions. She has recently published a book called the Idiot’s Guide To Ayurveda, (which is available […]

Low intensity exercise vs HIIT

IMG_9708

Unless you’ve been living under the rock, you’d be flooded with all the articles waxing eloquently on the benefits of HIIT.

Ambika Rikhye is a good friend, mentor and confidante. I got in touch with her around 3 years ago when she needed help with nutritional counseling.

Aashyana Lakhanpal, Goa

unspecified (7)

There’s something magical about Goa when it isn’t awfully crowded and it doesn’t take forever to get from one beach to the other. It is peaceful and you can have your own stretch of private beach as you contemplate whether you are going to sunbathe or whether you are going to practice your asanas on […]

Vaayu Goa

Most of us associate Goa with sundowners, too many cocktails, time spent in the pool and a whole lot of partying. While that sounds just about right, I feel like you haven’t done Goa right if you haven’t spent time surfing, learning yoga and eating delicious food. If you have the luxury to take two […]

She also helps her family run their travel company called Shakti Himalaya. When Maia isn’t shooting or blogging, she loves to pack in […]

Nidhi’s day on a plate

IMG_20170205_115128_553

I met Nidhi at a bloggers meet a few weeks ago and asked her to share her diet with me and my readers. I have been following her channel and her instagram feed for ages now and the fact that she’s a vegan athlete really inspires me to switch to a plant based diet. Nidhi […]
