Some people book spinning classes and get their ‘high’ of endorphins that way, others just let sauna blankets make them sweat in 2021 – simply while comfortably lying down. I had already heard about sauna blankets about a year ago. I also knew infrared heat from various hot yoga classes I attended in Vancouver, so naturally I was very curious. That’s why I tested the Koanna Infrared Sauna Blanket to see if it lived up to the hype…after all, even Joe Rogan has said that he found his experience in a sauna to be ‘life-changing’. Read More

You guys, I know, it’s been a while. Again. I guess I’m still learning to set boundaries and actively prioritize the things I love. I’ll get there eventually…

As my skin has been a huge topic for me lately – finally in a more positive context, I’d like to talk about a few things I wish I’d known sooner (like in my teens and my early twenties) that I just discovered recently. Read More

This blog post is also available in Deutsch/German

Who am I? What am I doing here? What’s my life’s purpose? And why the hell do I feel so lost? A few years back I reached a point in my life where I asked myself these (and many more) deep questions. At this point I honestly knew nothing about yoga. Looking back, there were so many things directing me towards this path and I didn’t even know it.

Was it the break up I went through when I was 21? Going off hormonal contraception and suddenly feeling like a whole new person? Who knows. All I know is that I had many questions and I felt so damn lost. Read More

Quite a lot of time has passed since I uploaded my last blog post. Again. I guess I’m still learning to adapt to the ebbs and flows of life and how to mindfully manage the inevitable changes that come with it. It always comes back to that practice of mindfulness.

During this phase the follicles in your ovary mature and estrogen levels increase to thicken the uterine lining so that it is prepared to host an egg. All hormones are at low levels right after your bleeding but they’re slowly starting to increase during this phase. Read More

I know, it’s been a while since I took the time to sit down and write a blog post. Life’s been busy. I guess we all go through busy phases from time to time. I’m working again and it sometimes makes me feel like my life is dictated by a somewhat tight schedule. Still, I’m trying to find ways to keep my diet as versatile and nutrient-dense as possible. I’m doing my best to stay on top of my health, both physical and mental. In the past I haven’t done such a good job there. It resulted in poor health, physical illness and depression. I learned a lot from that experience, especially regarding the way I handle stress. Read More
