Part one of a three part series: INTRO TO YOGA.
This series is for all you newbies out there and perhaps you yogis who just want to get a little deeper into the true wisdoms of yoga. This post will be all about Yoga terminology and specifically Sanskrit.
I thought you guys might like to know some words to help you to get the most out of each yoga class. So here are my ten Sanskrit words I think every yogi should know…
My big sister just turned 26. For her birthday I bought her flights to go to Budapest. The summer had just come to an end in London and it seemed like the perfect time to go explore and find a bit of sun before winter truly came.
I love Budapest. The backdrop of the Buda hills, the dramatic river Danube running through the city and the beautiful architecture make it incredibly pretty. The chain bridges give the city a romantic vibe and the Jewish district brings rich history into the streets. It was my second time to the city and all the love I had felt the first time I visited came flooding back. Not to mention Budapest is also super fun, filled with ruin bars, more than 100 thermal baths and lots of sights to see, plus it is really cheap! What is not to love…
Here are some photographs of our weekend in Budapest. At the end you will find a list of the places I would recommend (bars, baths, sights etc.) if you are thinking about taking a trip to this amazing city.
Practising yoga can have huge benefits for both the body and the mind.
Yoga strengthens and tones the body whilst leaving the mind feeling calmer and more present.
The ancient form of yoga can be practiced anywhere, there is no need for a gym, trainers or even a mat. Hence it is the perfect form of fitness for models who are traveling a lot.
A couple of weeks ago I worked with the amazing Elite model management team on a “How to work out like a model” video for Elite Model Look.

You may already of seen part one, if not head over there now!
If you have then you know I fell head over heels for Ibiza.
I am not sure if it is the incredibly clear ocean, the perfect temperature or the fresh seafood… mmmm.
A lot of people have preconceptions about Ibiza.
DO NOT. Trust me when I say this, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been!
Two weeks ago I got the chance to escape the craziness of London and take in this incredible island. Life can be hard sometimes…
Found on the 35th floor of 20 Fenchurch street (the walkie talkie building) the Sky Garden is the highest public garden in London. It is also one of my favourite places in the city…
Berlin is effortlessly cool and always delivers. Visiting the city for the second time a couple of weeks ago I was reminded of that amazing energy which runs through the cities bars, parks, clubs and cafes.
Taking a few days away from my London teaching schedule I met my boyfriend in Berlin for a few days of fun…
May has been a wonderful month and I feel so grateful for all the opportunities I have been given. It has also been pretty busy so its nice to look back, take a moment and just remember the highlights. Reflecting back over the last 31 days there have been a few things which have stuck out as being particular favourites of mine.
One of my favourite experiences this month was having my boyfriend come and stay with me in London. Spending time with positive, inspirational and happy people is so important and Bendik is all of those things. I spent my first ever “Norway Day” with him and we had such a great day, something we will both remember for years to come!
Now on to my favourites…
Norway and I have a kind of love hate relationship. I am currently and firmly in the love stage.
Its beautiful nature, wooden cabins and outdoor lifestyle get me every time I visit.
The ‘scandiness’ of Oslo, the fresh air in the mountains and the fact that you feel one million miles away from the busyness of London makes me beyond happy.
Another major reason why I love Norway is that it is my boyfriends homeland. This makes it feel like my second home and when I arrive in Norway I feel at peace.
Last week I took a trip to Oslo and his cabinto visit my him and enjoy this wonderful land full of Nordic culture.
Here are some photographs from my time there.
