Being desk bound and sitting all day leads to stiffness and tightness, particularly in our glutes, lower back, hips and shoulders. Regular movement is necessary to counteract this and to help us stay mobile and functional. One exercise recommend by Eloise Skinner – mat and reformer Pilates instructor at Third Space – is the shoulder bridge.

When you think about training the glutes, heavyweight exercises like deadlifts and kettlebell swings might be the first thing that comes to mind. But working with a full gym’s worth…

We’ve all had moments when we know what would help us feel better, but we just don’t put it into practice. For example, we might know that prioritizing sleep will help our mood and focus, but we mindlessly scroll until midnight anyway. Or we know that a morning walk steadies us for the day ahead, but somehow those emails in the inbox get answered first. This is what we call the knowing-doing gap. It’s the space between knowledge and action. Despite knowing what helps us feel grounded and steady, following through can feel like a whole different challenge. Often, it’s…

You are what you eat and your skin is proof. Foods rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins act like internal skincare.

Try replacing sugary desserts with dates, jaggery, or…
