Around 8.8 million tons of plastic ends up in our oceans each year. Some of this plastic ends up wrapped around birds, or ingested by fish and whales. How many pictures of sea turtles tangled in plastic or choking on straws do we have to see before we act? When it comes to saving our…
Whenever I teach a room full of beginners, I start the class by telling them to focus on their mat, to connect and coordinate my verbal instruction with their body, and to keep their gaze from wandering towards other practitioners.

Not everyone loves traveling to work, especially in this age where traffic gets worse every single day. While commuting itself is tolerable, getting stuck in traffic for hours is a much more bigger problem that must be looked upon. It can be daunting, stressful and time-consuming. It is understandable why a lot are coming to…

I recently went to the snowy northern region of Japan, Tohoku, with several missions to accomplish: experience the culture, see the sights and do some activities, and of course, taste the food. I had a blast in this beautiful, rather underrated area of Japan, and I can’t wait to explore more of the region. Check…
As times get busier and busier, and with the unrelenting traffic that Manila folk face daily, the desire to get away from it all grows stronger every day. But you may only have a weekend or three days to spare for a quick vacation, so booking a flight out of the country might be out…
We’ve gotten to our current situation because of our ingrained habits. Our good habits keep us going and our bad habits slow us down. It’s not just one act of eating a bad meal, having that alcoholic drink, or skipping that workout but an accumulation of this that led us to our current situation, which…
