The power of effort
Every morning I tell myself, it’s a new beginning when it comes to my life with diabetes. No matter the circumstances at bedtime, waking up is always a fresh start. But I didn’t always see things like that. There was a time not so long ago that I dragged the past onto the present and my mornings were spent in the gloom of dreadful … Read More The power of effort

Yoga makes the difference
Diabetes sucks. I know I’ve said it before but this time I really really mean it. And it’s not just because of the endless needle pricks, the shaky blood sugars, the near-death episodes or dietary issues. It’s the financial side. Why does having diabetes cost so much? I get choked up when I hear about how people are rationing their insulin, how insurance companies … Read More Yoga makes the difference

Fit with Diabetes: An e-book review
I’ll never forget how it felt to step on my yoga mat to practice the day after I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2008. I was distraught, afraid and disillusioned. The tears flowed like a river and I couldn’t imagine the road ahead. My doctor had armed me with some pamphlets and told me to google diabetes. Back then I wasn’t on insulin and … Read More Fit with Diabetes: An e-book review

Yoga for Diabetes – Listening to your body, your heart and the world around you.
Today is World Diabetes Day and I’m in Atlanta right now which for me is one of my homes away from home. I used to come here every vacation to be with my grandparents. My grandparents have long since passed but my family is still here. It’s been really special to reconnect with them and feel their support. Last night while our extended family … Read More Yoga for Diabetes – Listening to your body, your heart and the world around you.

Diabetes and Mindset
Diabetes is tough! Especially right now while I am on the road spreading the word about how Yoga is a lifesaver when it comes to the day to day management of diabetes. I’m using test strips like there’s no tomorrow while navigating unexpected lows, raging highs and doing my best to stick to daily routines amidst early morning flights and media calls. Don’t get … Read More Diabetes and Mindset

Yoga for Diabetes is not one size fits all
When I first started yoga in my teens I knew very little about the postures and practices. I would throw myself into the practice and hope for the best. Some days the practice made me feel great and other days it seemed to make me feel worse. It took almost ten years for me to learn that the type of yoga I was practicing … Read More Yoga for Diabetes is not one size fits all

Why I dropped the ball

Things like: organising my book tour in the US getting published in Elephant Journal creating vlogs for Yoga for Fertility and Yoga for Adrenal support hosting my parents first visit to South Africa … Read More Why I dropped the ball

Highs and lows
Friday was a biggie, not in terms of my blood glucose numbers, but because I’ve finally realised a life long dream. In November 2017 a book I had no idea I would even write, when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes eight years ago, will be published worldwide. If you’ve been following this blog over the last two years you’ll remember how busy I was … Read More Highs and lows
