When you think of doctors, you immediately think prescriptions and pills.  Right?  Wrong!  We met a medical professional with a diference.  Instead of pills, she prescribes lifestyle changes!  And that resonated so much with our own views.  No wonder we got chatty and the discussion turned into a living room chat on a relaxed weekend afternoon.Listen to this and we bet you'll feel the same.New episodes every fortnight on Fridays at 18:00 GMT.

PTSD: In conversation with Marius Pelser

Healing is not about changing who you are.  It is about changing your relationship with who you are.  A fundamental part of that is honouring how you feel.Mental health has come into a lot of prominence with the current endemic.  We may be suffering from it and yet not realise it.  The first step to solving any problem is the realisation that you 'may' have a problem.  Once you are past that stage, then you need to be aware of what you can do about it.  There are a number of tools available for your help. Continuing with our series on mental health, we talk about which tools you can use to focus on your issues.New episodes every fortnight on Fridays at 18:00 GMT.

Building Resilience in the times of crisis

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a yoga practitioner?  Their yoga practice, their teaching...?

Being Human - the other side of a yoga practitioner
