#netipots

For more than 5000 years, Neti pots were in use as an integral and inseparable part of the Yogic tradition. Apart from Jala Neti, which is what a Neti pot is used for- Hatha Yoga masters taught other Neti practices like the Sutra Neti- which is the more advanced version of Neti where a thread or string is used to clean the nasal passage.

Cold and flu season…you win. And I hate you.

I am not a fan of winter for many reasons. It’s cold. It snows. My pool is closed. There is very little sun. I use a vitamin D lamp at work to make up for the lack of sun and people constantly comment and question it. (Little do they know that the very lamp they think is weird is the only thing preventing my mood from shifting from delightful to raging short-tempered bitch.)

While the weather is…
