Anyone who has ever engaged in rock climbing or bouldering, the name for climbing on low rock formations without a rope, can testify to the strain the activity puts on the body. When positioned vertically, the muscles in your hips and torso strain to keep your lower body in place against the wall. Arching your back, you move one hand up to grasp on to the next hold - your thighs and calves leaving the sensation of a deep burn as they struggle with the pressure being exerted upon them. Eventually, as you lodge your hand into the next hold, the muscles that are close to giving up are relieved as the muscle group in focus shifts. The process is repeated methodically as you gradually scale the wall.

When we were children, most of us were given artistic licence by our elders to sculpt something out of playdough, paint a picture using only our fingers, or draw using crayons and various other materials. As time passes however, we tend not to express ourselves through art as we once did in our youth, forgetting just how powerful the activity really is. Besides the random doodle on the side of a journal, most adults deem themselves 'bad' at creating art and don't believe its worth their time. However, this is untrue and there are still significant benefits that can be achieved through art, one of life's greatest stress relieving tools. Regardless of how artistically inclined an individual perceives themselves to be, the positives are there for everyone to enjoy. Art is often overlooked as so many fail to recognise just how valuable it can be and the way in which it can help them in life.

Available in various different forms such as agarbatti sticks, small cones, and even raw plant material like palo santo wood chips or sweetgrass, incense is described as any plant matter which is burned for its aromatic or spiritual properties. The practice of burning incense is an important ritual dating back to ancient times. Said to have originated in Egypt at the time of the Old Kingdom, it was used by priests for fumigating tombs. Incense has an extended history of use in conjunction with ceremonies, rituals, and spiritual and religious occasions. The sacred act has stood the test of time and is still widely popular today. Below are ten reasons why you should be using incense as part of your weekly routine.

Whats a Sauna and Why are people using them?

A sauna is typically regarded as a room/space that is heated to between 70° to 100° Celsius. Traditional Finnish saunas usually use dry heat, with a relative humidity that is

The last year has been extremely difficult for us all. The back and forth through lockdown has put incredible strain on not only our mental health, but also our physical wellbeing. For the majority of the day, people are confined to their homes where they experience a totally new way of living, as social lives and routines are turned on their head.

What is a low-waste lifestyle? It means living sustainably, so that you impact the planet as little as possible. It means changing your buying habits to produce the minimum amount of waste, while ensuring that any waste you do produce has the smallest environmental impact it can. This way of living is becoming increasingly popular in world where climate-change effects all our lives.

'Freezebury' is an initiative conceived by former Leinster rugby player Damien Browne which entails sea swimming in the piercing cold waters on the shores of Ireland. The idea of this highly challenging activity is to push your boundaries and step outside of your comfort zone. Each day the candidate partaking in the challenge is encouraged to stay in the water one minute longer than the previous day, building towards the end goal of staying in the water for 28 minutes on the final day of the month. According to Browne, mental toughness plays a massive role in this challenge and controlling the breath is a vital method of remaining calm and focused whilst submerged in the water.
