Yoga Pose: Monkey.

Monkey Pose helps to stretch the hamstrings, groin muscles and hip flexors. If you're into your running or cycling, this stretch can really help to maintain your flexibility.

"Since January, I’ve really tried to get into exercise and I try to work out 4 times a week. Bala Bangles (www.shopbala.com). These are super versatile weighted bangles and can be worn on your wrists or ankles. I’ll wear when rebounding, walking the dogs, doing barre and they come in all sorts of fabulous colours and they're so comfortable. I love that I'm adding resistance to my everyday tasks without even realising it."

I love to cook. It really helps me to relax and switch off, so I like to spend quite a lot of time just hanging out in the kitchen. It opens out onto my dining area and then into my living room, with a view directly to the garden. For this reason I want my kitchen to feel connected so I add in pieces that you would find in other areas of your home, lamps, art, mirrors, botanicals and fabulous textiles. It helps to integrate it to the other rooms and makes me want to linger longer, creating tasty food and enjoying the smells and sounds, chatting to our guests (or just G and the kids). 

Recipes in the week for me have to be super speedy and nutrient rich. Things I can whip up quickly are packed with flavour and most importantly are easy to execute. A super tasty warming dish from the fabulous Meera Sodha. A quick dish, perfect for the weekend. I serve it with a warm roti and minted yoghurt. Delicious!
