Kapalwhat?

My friend Gargi is a world class yoga master and she has spent long hours trying to teach me Kapalwhatchamacallit. Actually it’s called Kapalbathi and it is an ancient and amazing form of breathing.

Does Being Healthy Mean You Never Get Sick?

People always assume I never get sick - that is patently untrue. The difference is that my symptoms are less, it is less virulent and it doesn't last as long. Real health means that your body can weather an immune assault with minimal discomfort and emerge on the other side intact.

The Beauty Biz

I want to give you an interesting truth here. All of us, and I mean ALL of us as women are unique in our bodies. And at the same time, none of us, and I mean NONE of us are happy with our body in its natural state. This has developed into the beauty biz.
