  3. The Common Cause of Running Injuries Most People Overlook It may sound counterintuitive, but the best long-distance runners didn't get so good from running alone. To run harder, better, faster, stronger, they supplement their runs with other forms of exercise like cross-training, strength training, and interval running. Studies show these are all important elements in any training plan to become a better runner1 . But many runners still neglect one crucial component of training: improving their balance. Research shows balance training can be used to prevent and treat acute ankle sprains, and reduce the chances of ankle injuries in the future2 . After all, the last sound any...

Primal Mocktails

If it’s Saturday night and you want to kick back and relax without alcohol, but want something more celebratory than sparkling water, a Primal Mocktail is what you need. Primal Mocktails are non-alcoholic, low in sugar, refreshing, and fun to drink, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out when a pitcher of margaritas is passed around.

The three recipes below don’t rely on sugar for flavor. Instead, these Primal mocktails are made with intriguing flavor combinations, like cucumber and

The 10 Best Yoga Poses for Travelers

We love to travel for so many reasons: Exploring different cultures, taking a break from our inbox, and actually relaxing a little are just a few. One part we don’t particularly enjoy?

Yoga, Hiking, Meditating, Singing, Eating and Dancing at Wanderlust Whistler

Honoring my sense of adventure and mindful living at Wanderlust Whistler 2015 for 5 days of celebrating community, self care and discovery. Last July, I packed up my Scion IQ and drove 600 miles across 2 provinces to Wanderlust Whistler, a 5-day festival which; up until I attended, I assumed was an event solely focused on yoga (asana). I had heard of Wanderlust for many years, but never thought it was the right place for me. You see, I’m no stellar yogi. I can’t balance on my head, my nose doesn’t touch my toes, and it’d be a miracle if I was able to sit through a 30 minute meditation in complete stillness. But I was hungry for adventure so I bit the bullet, bought my ticket and planned for an road
