Let’s Deep Dive
I write science informed articles on yoga, spirituality & wellness. My intention is to share the techniques and ideas that have benefited my life for the past 20 years of practice by aligning spiritual philosophy & scientific study.
The Backlash to Over-Optimisation
Wellness has shifted from simple habits to constant optimisation. But tracking everything may increase stress. Here’s why nervous system regulation and consistent practice beat perfection.
Sauna Culture and Detox Conversations
From microplastic detox claims to reduced cardiovascular risk, sauna use is trending in wellness circles. Here’s what the evidence actually says about traditional vs infrared heat and who should use caution.
The rise of neurowellness
Why do muscles feel tight if they don’t actually “shorten”? In this article, we explore the rise of neurowellness, the science of nervous system regulation, and how strength in range through 90-90-90 hip work improves flexibility more effectively than passive stretching alone.
Beyond Muscles and Meals: Why September Needs Something More
The missing ingredient is spirituality. We’ve spoken about strength and nutrition this month, but there’s a missing piece: spirituality. Not religion, not rituals—just being more alive, more you. From mindful walks to moments of stillness, discover how simple practices can bring balance, meaning, and connection to your September routine.
AUGUST THEME: STRENGTH IN STILLNESS
Study 1: The Global Wellness Institute, 2025 Yoga Therapy Report
Yoga therapy isn’t a niche anymore. It’s now a front-line response to mental health challenges, trauma recovery, and stress disorders.
What makes it powerful? It directly influences the autonomic nervous system — your internal control panel for calm vs chaos.
Key takeaway:
"Conscious breathing and mindful movement regulate the body’s stress response — reducing anxiety, improving heart rate variability, and restoring emotional balance."
That’s not just yoga fluff. That’s measurable. That’s trainable. That’s life-saving.
