Kate Kendall is kind of a big deal in the yoga world… so much so that even I (one of the un-yogiest people in Sydney) know exactly who she is and admire her from afar – in a completely above-board and non-creepy way. The co-founder and Director of Yoga at Flow Athletic in Sydney’s Paddington, Kate’s approach to yoga is inspirational but still accessible – she’s hosted a couple of events I’ve been to and has a knack for making even total novices like me (I struggle to touch my toes and my downward dog looks kind of like a basset hound having a fit) feel really comfortable. And – lucky us – today she’s taken time out to share her thoughts on how to add yoga into a fitness routine….

The Lululemon Run Collective Seminar Series Hits Sydney
There are less than six weeks left until the City2Surf, aka the mostly hotly anticipated event on my sporting calendar. I’ve been running it since my second year at uni (which was longer ago than I care to remember) and I honestly do look forward to it more than is probably normal….

It’s no secret that I’ve got a bit of a thing for Lululemon. And by ‘thing’ I mean I’d exchange my hypothetical firstborn child for a van full of Lulu clothing. Maybe even just a shopping trolley full if I’m honest. So while I may not be the biggest or bendiest yogi going around, when I found out that Lululemon was helping to bring Wanderlust to Sydney, I was in….

2013 – My Year in Review
I can’t believe that today is the last day of the year! 2013 has been quite a journey for me, with some incredible highs and not-so-great lows – a similar story to pretty much everyone else I’d imagine.

After all, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it [that’s George Santayana, if you’re interested]….
