I often hear people saying that they don’t have time to practice yoga or do any other forms of exercise. This concept of the lack of time is something that I’ve been thinking about a lot and often especially after becoming a mother (nine years of contemplating) and it’s a theme that regularly comes up in private and group yoga classes.

Imbalanced hamstrings can lead to a limited range of motion and even serious injuries. For example, tight hamstrings pull down on the sitting bones which can lead to nagging low back pain. I find this to be one very important reason why we should keep those hamstrings open by stretching them daily.

If I would need to choose just one snack/dessert to eat for the rest of my life it would be these choco balls! My dear friend Eva Kiviluoma had prepared these as a snack for us a few years ago to eat during our little road trip to her summer house in Finland. When she opened the snack box the car was filled with the delicious smell of orange and cacao. After the first bite, my taste buds were totally in love!
