Zero Drop, Zero Problem
Typically, runners are told that they need a number of things to fix their injuries and make running more enjoyable. Whether that's a stability/neutral shoe, or an orthotic. Doctors, trainers and ill-informed running specialty stores will give loads of information to get you in what they believe is the "correction" your feet need. Then minimalist running came along. The hype first started in 2011 when Christopher McDougall's book, "Born to Run" hit the shelves. McDougall ventured into the Copper Canyons of Mexico and found the Tarahumara Indians, an indigenous tribe, that runs hundreds of miles, through the desert, hunting. All while barefoot or with some type of old tire strapped to their feet.

Why Men Should Practice Yoga...
“It’s just for girls, it’s not proper exercise” The very real words spoken by my boyfriend when I suggested he tried Yoga. Due to widespread advertising that includes beautiful women smiling in yoga pants, hipster coffee shops/art galleries holding yoga mornings for mothers and babies and newly gentrified, artsy areas of trendy cities becoming hubs for yoga studios, the wide spread perception that Yoga is for yummy mummy's and nimble, young, 20 something indie females is one that you would be forgiven for believing. However, I am here to tell you that you are wrong. Yoga, in its many forms, is for everyone. In fact, I see more and more men join my classes every week!
