Run and Bee in the COVID era
This is the first in the series on how to get back to being active in this Covid era which has broken us down more psychologically than physically. It’ll yet again be GOYA (Get Off Your Arse) that’ll help you reclaim your true self. No one else is going to come and fix anything for you.

Do we know what yoga is?
Is Yoga meant to be done only on one day and is it only limited to a few poses? Let’s just not follow blindly. It’s time to make ourselves more aware.
The Unsung Heroes of La Ultra
Magic happens when madly passionate folks come along without any vested interest besides the experience of having a time of their lives. Thank you everyone who made the very first edition happen when I had nothing to show for the journey we were to go on.
