Many of us agree the hardest part of a personal practice is actually getting on the mat. We tend to forget that any practice is better than no practice at all. We also tend to forget that 5 minutes everyday is more beneficial than 3 hours once a week. It is the little things we introduce into our day as a consistent base practice that will really make a difference to our lives.

Spring has arrived! Although it might be tempting to reach for the beach towels and raw salads… we’re not quite there yet. This vanilla rose granola is a celebratory recipe for making it through yet another winter. Despite the simplicity of this recipe, there is something quite special and a little fancy about it.
