Minca
Jewel of the Sierra Nevada Minca the town was always a mystery to me. “Very popular with backpackers”. “Lots of foreigners”. “Instagram influencers’ paradise”.

La Guajira
An adventure into the Alta Guajira (High Guajira) of Colombia. Colombia’s treasured coast, and some say forgotten people. Here you abide by different laws – specifically those of the Wayuu. This is their earth, their land and their rules. I questioned if I should even be out here. This is the kind of place where …

10 Targeted Yoga Poses
I’ve uploaded a half hour session to my YouTube channel “Yogamatique” that targets some of the tightest areas in the body such as the hamstrings, the calves, the hip flexors, the adductors, the quads, the quadratus lumborum, the shoulders and more. Even though specific poses were chosen to target a certain area, we are also …
Meditate Your Way
What is meditation? How do you meditate? Are there other forms of meditation? This is a recording of a discussion between Silvana Vryll, a yoga instructor from Buenos Aires, Argentina and myself.
