Ångestdämpande och några veckors ytterligare sjukskrivning

Igår va jag hos läkaren och fick medicinering mot ångest samt förlängd sjukskrivning. Har aldrig medicinerat mot det innan. Tog första dosen igårkväll. Jag har på något sätt alltid haft inställningen till att jag aldrig ska ta mediciner mot ångest eller liknande. Att jag ska träna och vila bort problemen. Enligt läkaren va det inte troligt. Stark rekommendation att ta medicinen sa han, om jag…

Ingen yoga kan kompensera för att man kör slut på sig själv utanför mattan

Ungefär ett år har gått sedan jag skrev här, och mycket har hänt. Många roliga saker, såsom att jag har blivit sambo med den finaste killen jag vet och att vi flyttat till Lund. Det känns på många sätt underbart. Älskar den här mannen och älskar den här staden. Livet är dock komiskt på det sättet att precis när jag tyckte att jag mådde som bäst, både i kärleksklivet, på jobbet och med yogan –…

Healthy quick chocolate snack

Healthy quick chocolate snack

Hi yogi-readers!

Yesterday I decided to make a quick healthy snack that I make maybe once or twice per year.

It takes just minutes to prepare – and you only need five ingredients!

The ingredients are quite common and I think most of you already have them in you kitchen. So extra shopping is rarely needed!

Running low on air

Hi yogi-readers!

I am sitting here with my cup of coffee, having a small break at work. And I started thinking about getting back to training after a time of absence. More specifically: running.

You experience both the happiness of being back, but also the realization…
