If you think yoga is all about handstands and contorting your body into near-impossible poses, you should know that there are several different ways to practice yoga. Gentle yoga, for example, is appropriate for just about anyone, beginners and veterans alike. “Gentle yoga offers a nurturing and compassionate approach to the body,” says Sarah Cummins, RYT 500, E-RYT 200, YACEP, yoga instructor and certified personal trainer. “It’s often taught in a way that all people can easily participate.” What Is Gentle Yoga?

It is very common to be nervous before one approaches his or her partner. Many of us have been victims of either performance anxiety or self-consciousness, or some other fear factor, at some point in time. Below are three major ways in which not being relaxed, or bogged down with fear and anxiety can harm our sex life. 1. Alert warnings about Sex We are warned about ways of avoiding unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases in several ways. For many of us, these warnings keep buzzing in our minds while in the bedroom. This alertness leads to unnecessary fear…
All around the world, men have always been very sensitive about the size of their male genitalia or penis, more than their other body stats. Men have been found more bothered about their penis size as compared to women, as most of them reported being happy about their partner’s penis size. It has been found that one out of every three men is worried about his penis size, of whom most reported to prefer seeking help from sexologists. Also, one out of ten men has been found to have bought some sort of penis enlargement product online, whether it is…
The term ‘yoga mom’ conjures up images of this elite middle-aged woman in tight designer yoga pants, toting her expensive yoga mat and driving her fancy SUV, who engages in fancy vegan lunches and sips smoothies with fruits that you can’t even pronounce. And the reason we know all of this is thanks to her updated Instagram feed, of course. The reason this bothers a ‘regular’ yoga mom like me is that a) this does NOT represent the majority of the yoga mom population, and b) this is complete FALSE advertisement for women who are trying to find their true…
This palak daal recipe came to me by way of a favorite neighborhood spot in San Francisco. Wayne and I regularly frequent a place called Kasa. It takes just about ten minutes to get there on foot. It’s casual, fast, and I know exactly what I like – kati roll, paneer, unda-style with side of daal. The other day I was chatting with Anamika, one of the owners, and she mentioned that she was teaching a cooking class as part of a fund-raiser. I have to admit that I’m always checking the Kasa site with the hope that Anamika will post some…
Journey with me back to 2012 — the last time I shared this perfect lemon cream pie recipe: “Baking lemon pie brings memories of my Grandmother back to me. She made an incredible lemon pie with sky-high meringue. It was sensational, just like her. She was also very snippy and demanding at times. I think she mostly lived off of coffee and buttered toast, and the occasional chili from Wendy’s. I remember once she put a pizza in the oven and asked me why it looked so funny… it was upside down. True story. I miss her humor, attitude, and…
