Crafts for Meditation and Mindfulness – Yoga teacher explains how and why

We all know meditation and mindfulness are beneficial to our wellbeing, but incorporating them into our busy lives can be a challenge. As someone who needs to add “meditate for 10 minutes” to my To-Do list to get it done, it can start to seem like a chore—quite the opposite of what meditation is supposed to achieve!

5 Fashion Face Masks Ideas Based on Your Fashion Style

Many of us who are blessed enough to know how to sew, have been sewing face masks for family, friends, colleagues and essential workers. I love the idea of making more personalised, what some people call “fashion face masks”, in order to:
