My body changes: strength +weight gain
So in November 2019, I decided it’s high time to move my exercise game to the next level.

5 tips on how to “simplify” your vipassana course
I know this may sound counter-intuitive: simplify-vipassana course. Vipassana is a well known meditating technique, and the basic course- the entrance gate to the world of vipassana so to speak- is the 10-day course, which is many things, but simple -isn’t one of them.
