Wanderlust readers know that self-care is extremely important (read more about that here). But proper self-care is more than just adequate sleep and bubble baths—it’s caring for every part of you… And we mean every part of you. So what do we mean by “sexual” self-care? For years, sexuality (especially for women) has been considered

“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” – Rumi  It’s time to face the truth: The most important person in your life is you. How can we treat ourselves right? You don’t have to follow a strict regimen—we all have our own ways of honoring

It’s a perennial theme during February, and we’re always delighted to return to this practice: self-love.

Over the last decade, a surge of research has emerged in science publications about

Almost daily I am reminded of the most potent teaching of the Handel Method of coaching; I am the author of my life. When I first began working with Handel coaches in 2010, I came to understand that my life was built on a series of choices that I’d made. The idea that I’d chosen everything, that everything I was perceiving and

The power of ritual and ceremony should not be overlooked—especially for the modern yogi. Much of our lives these days are spent running around, and as a result it’s critical to set aside time to slow down and connect to your self and your spirit with intention. A Sacred Ritual A daily journaling ritual where

When you’re stressed, tired, or just plain overwhelmed, self-care is often the last thing on your list. Research shows that making time to play a little every day, finding balance between work and life, does wonders to ease fatigue, increase health and rejuvenate the senses. But how to begin? Start by grabbing something to write on. On the

This piece is from our partners at Sonima. Find more like it here. I’m the first to admit it: I love shopping and I tend to live for the moment. I took a quiz recently that tested my financial know-how, and for the question: “What would be considered a long-term financial goal?” I chose three

Veganism often has a lonely tag attached to it. Visions of people eating granola, alone, in loft-style apartments decorated only with yoga mats and slightly too well attended plants. The plight of the vegan is to live a solitary life with only avocados for friends and the odd night-out at the alcohol-free rave. A Charlie-Brown-like

For many of us, hitting snooze on the alarm clock can be just another part of a mundane morning routine, especially when we’d rather be soaking up the summer sun than heading into the office. But what if your breakfast was the motivation you needed to rise early? As veganism becomes more mainstream, so have creative

If you’re anything like us, you start drooling at the mere mention of seven-layer dip. This iconic snack is known for its frequent appearances on game day or during house parties, but really you can eat it under any circumstances. Girls night? Yup. Date night in? You bet. Wednesday night after a sweaty vinyasa sesh?

This dish was the absolute most popular recipe from my TV series on Cooking Channel. People went absolutely nuts for these tacos, and it’s easy to see why. The lentils and cauliflower team up to form the ground “meat” in this dish with authentic Mexican spices. In fact, lentils are a triple threat for fitness.

I’m guessing perhaps not as often as we might like. Possibly because we don’t believe in ‘ease’ as a consistent way of being, day in, day out. And yet, the alternative is dis-ease. We have been through a lot this past year or so – including a pervading sense of disease. Directly or indirectly, we

Mindfulness involves cultivating a present moment of awareness that has no judgment and it can occur in every aspect of our lives. As January is upon us, I am sure many people will be thinking of creating positive changes to start the year and one that always gets a lot of press is “Dry January”.

Hi Wanderlust, it’s Emily here and I love my wine so much, I am actually qualified at WSET Level 2 and am planning to host my first wine tasting next year. Not something you often hear in the yoga scene, is it? Most yoga enthusiasts tend to be tee-total (or at least say they are),

Being aware of the impact of alcohol on our mind and body, both short term and long term, allows us to drink and socialise more mindfully. Essentially, drinking with a sense of balance, sipping, savouring and developing a sense of awareness. Inserting a sense of ritual when consuming alcohol can help you ease into a

‘Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind’ – Swami Vivekananda The environment and climate change are a hot topic of conversation right now, from forest fires to flash floods, fast fashion and carbon emissions.

As we begin a new year, January is always the perfect month to set our intentions and become more mindful. It is especially a great month to become more mindful about what we are putting into our bodies. We have the tendency to overdo it during the festive season with more parties, catching up with
