Studies have revealed that humming significantly increases nitric oxide production by the brain with some studies showing an incredible 1400% increase in just 10 seconds.

Nitric oxide is a gas that acts as a crucial chemical messenger in the body, primarily by relaxing blood vessels to improve blood flow and blood pressure. This gas is produced in the brain, where it is synthesized by different cell types, including neurons, glial cells, and endothelial cells lining blood vessels.

Humming increases nitric oxide production by using oscillating airflow to improve gas exchange between the paranasal sinuses, which produce nitric oxide, and the nasal cavity.

Increased nitric oxide production is excellent for your health as it relaxes and widens blood vessels, which improves blood flow, lowers blood pressure and delivers more oxygen and nutrients to muscles and organs. This leads to benefits like improved cardiovascular health, better exercise performance and recovery, enhanced brain function and a stronger immune response.

NOTE: In my fact checking this, the AI Overview on google said “this claim is an exaggeration, nitric oxide production is increased by 15 fold not 1400%”… 15 fold is 1400% so just shows you can’t always trust AI…

The Depth You Don’t See 🌊:

One bright morning, a group of animals gathered by a shining lake.
Two tall giraffes stepped in first, their long necks gliding above the water, eyes calm and confident.

“Come in, friends!” they called. “It’s not deep at all!”

The bears exchanged glances. The rabbits hesitated.
And a tiny mouse stood trembling at the edge — staring at the ripples that looked like waves.

To the giraffes, the lake was calm and shallow — a gentle splash of water on their knees.
But to the mouse, it was an ocean — vast, dark, and terrifying.

The giraffes smiled kindly, unaware.
They weren’t mocking. They simply couldn’t see the lake through smaller eyes.

💧 And that’s how life works, doesn’t it?

We judge too easily.
We tell others — “It’s not that hard.” “Just move on.” “Why are you overthinking?”
But the truth is, what feels small to you might be someone else’s storm.

Your calm could be their chaos.
Your comfort could be their breaking point.

Not because they’re weak —
but because their story runs deeper than you can see.
Their heart carries weights your eyes can’t measure.

🌿 So before you say, “It’s not that bad,”
pause — and remember:
you might just be a giraffe talking to a mouse.

💡Takeaway:
True empathy begins where judgment ends.
We never see the full depth of another’s pain — only the ripples it leaves on the surface.
So speak softly. Act kindly.
For the storm you call shallow might be the one someone is fighting to survive in silence.

Spring is a time of renewal, rebirth, and growth - a transition from the stillness of winter into the expanding energy of Spring.

Spring is associated with the liver. Our liver is the most important organ in charge of renewing, cleansing and energising the emotions and body. When our liver Qi (energy) is running smoothly, our emotional Qi, Blood and energy will flow with ease throughout the body.

The liver governs the tendons and needs both emotional and physical flexibility. The partner of the Liver is the Gallbladder organ. These two are interconnected and support one another.

In this Yin yoga practice, we’re going to focus on these two organs.

Limited spots. Advance booking & payment required.

This Sound bath is extra-special as we connect to the energy of the full moon.

Experience the practice of Mauna Amavasya, where silence is observed at the level of speech, senses, gestures and action. From the silence of the mind (manas), one gives birth to swayambhu - one’s own purified Self.

A deeply restorative yet transformative experience that will give you a sense of clarity and even deep introspection.

What to expect :
✅ You will be lying down comfortably supported by a pillow, bolster, blanket (at any point you need to get up and sit, it’s okay to do so)
✅ Please enter, stay and exit the room in silence
✅ You may arrive 10 minutes early to have some warm ginger tea
✅ Wear loose, comfortable clothes without zipper / metal. You may want to bring your own blanket though we have plenty in the studio.
✅ Breathe, relax, receive, restore

Note: this practice is not for anyone who suffers from sound-induced epilepsy.

Space is limited and pre-payment is required to guarantee your booking. PM me for more details.

STHIRAM , SUKHAM , ASANAM

Every asana is a vinyasa in Sri Krishnamacharya’s tradition. The meaning of the word Vinyasa is to place the body in a special way. (Nyasa = to place, vi = in a special way.) . The special way herein implies adhering to the grammar of the Asana and to stay in it with sthiram (stability), a long comfortable breath (sukham) and with a focused mind. We need to move, stay and reflect so as to break the rigidity of the body and the mind. This requires effort: prayatna.

Join me in the practice of balancing effort and surrender to find stability and ease in an energising Vinyasa Yoga every Saturday at 9h.

Limited space, booking essential.
PM for more details.

Somatic Yoga

A slow, gentle and self-exploratory movement practice that focuses more on the internal experience of the movement rather than the external appearance or the end result of the movement. Contrary to other style of yoga where we engaged and tighten the muscles, the intention here is to release muscle tension, relieving pain, improving your posture, or letting go of stress by re-training our nervous system.

Somatic movement teaches you to tune in to what your body is telling you.

Our Nervous System which controls our muscle tension, posture, and movement, must learn new things very slowly. This applies to how we learn all new things.

Awareness of the mind-body connection will help you manage your overall health. If you’re aware of how your body is feeling, that means you're able to do something about it when something doesn't feel right.
