This month, we'll be stretching our hamstrings and stimulating our abdominal organs and our hearts!

HAPPY HALLOWE'EN

REGULATE OR NOT REGULATE?

These are murky times to be a student herbalist for there are at the moment, dark and serious mutterings in the form of a consultation about regulation as well as a strange thing known loftily as the 'Codex Alimentarius'. These documents are utterly tedious to read and I suppose this is what the government is relying on to deter even the most determined from deciphering the civil-servantese in order to make a decision on the right way forward. Personally, I haven't made my mind up about what it all means for me and my future but if you're feeling militant, there is a mass lobby on the 2nd November, otherwise here's some bedtime reading:

YOGA - X

And so back to the yoga, which of course we’ve continued diligently with all summer! This particular pose stretches the thighs and psoas muscle, stimulates the abdominal organs and opens the shoulders and chest. It's challenging to say the least.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Not sure if the strike affected delivery of birthday cards but Very Happy Birthday anyway!
