Y O G A 🧘 Even though I’ve been practicing yoga at a beginner-ish level for the last 18 years 😂 it has played an integral role in my life. It has helped me recover from serious accidents, given purpose to my travels and helped me keep moving during my more sedentary times.

Thanks to my new work place @oru_space and their incredible community of yoga instructors I’ve become stronger than ever and have even started slowly developing my own practice - thanks @tomfromse15

The last few weeks it has been such a privilege to work abroad and travelling again. I’m now in Bocas Del Toro, Panama at @laselva_nomadtreelodge surfing and practicing yoga, taking a break. This is their yoga space, in front of my favourite tree.

Medellin Central Food Market 🥑🥭🍓🌽🫘 So I’m in Colombia to talk at the US bean conference about Euro-bean trends! The inspirational @meliospinacocina took us on the most incredible tour of the main market.

Working with purpose is easier said than done, but

Working with purpose is easier said than done, but when our work alines with our ‘why’, life starts to make sense. It was an honour and pleasure to teach @plantacademylondon this week. We spoke about the reciprocity of love between mother and child, dug into our past, learnt about our present and dreamt about the future. All of this reminded me to love and cook with wild abandon!
