Some of you Amsterdam foodies might have been familiar with the Meatless District at the bilderdijkstraat. After the success of their first location the two amazing woman behind this vegan hot spot decided to open a second location located in ‘de Pijp’.

Miso Sesame Glazed Carots
Carrots are one of the foods that I am quite intolerant for, unless they’re cooked that is! One of my favourite ways to eat them is roasted with some nice spices.

3 things that inspire me
One thing most if not all of us have in common is that we’re constantly looking to get inspired. Inspiration isn’t something that can be forced, it has to flow from within. This is why, just like the seasons, I go through moments of drought. Moments where just like the flowers at the end of their time, inspiration comes to die, an endless cycle of resurrection. Knowing this has brought me comfort during the times where I felt empty, uninspired and grey, trusting that with enough water, sun and love the seeds of live would bring forth new growth, resulting in beautiful concepts, creations and manifestations.
For a moment in life I worried I had completely lost all inspiration. …

Not Flexible Enough For Yoga?
When it comes to yoga people often consider themselves “not flexible enough” to even start a practice. This post serves as a response to this common misbelieve, and hopefully brings a different perspective to anyone interested in yoga but feels intimidated because of their lack of flexibility.
To respond I would like to say that yoga is about more than just the postures (asana) and that although it’s great that you gain some flexibility, there are many other things to be gained through yoga, such as…
