• Sit on your mat in a crossed-leg position. • Keep the spine comfortably upright — don’t become aggressively straight in your posture, as that can strain your back. To find the right position for the spine, sit as straight as you can, and then relax your posture by 10 per cent. • If sitting still, make sure your chin is parallel to the floor, face is relaxed, teeth comfortably apart, and tip of the tongue touches the roof of the mouth. • Spend anywhere between one to five minutes here doing deep breathing, meditation, or ‘Sukshma Vyayama’ like neck, wrist, and shoulder circles, cat-cow, or side bends. @yoganama…

In the build up to my conversation with Mitali, I couldn’t help but feel a little nostalgic, reminiscing when I first began following @houseofmisu. I was a bright-eyed college kid, absolutely floored, watching the iconic duo Mitali and Summiyya, embrace fashion as nothing short of an art. Strutting the streets of Mumbai in the finest couture or trendy high street, the two were game-changers in the industry, even back then. Over the years, I witnessed them grow both in numbers and in charisma, and their fashion game grew from strength to strength—making them one of the country’s most sought after fashion and style influencers. I was also one among lakhs, tuned in to both their glamorous weddings, and did my own little happy dance when Mitali announced she’d soon be…

How do we imbibe the concept of a sustainable and eco-friendly designed space in children? Is it through organic textiles, buying local materials, natural materials, etc.? No doubt, that’s a commonly used and a very effective approach—but that’s not the beginning and the end of ‘sustainability.’ My personal view on sustainability is based on our ancestors’ zero-wastage lifestyle. Most of their furniture has lasted over a 100 years because of the quality—they even repurposed their silk sarees as quilts, cushion covers and bedspreads. The same baby cot was used across siblings, cousins, children and grandchildren; and is perhaps back in the reckoning again with the new generation. The modern day trend of buying everything new, and the use-and-throw concept, is one of the main causes of depletion of resources and…

Can you imagine how exhausting it must be change the baby’s nappy after every pee! Especially as a new mum learning the ropes of mommyhood, with an already jam-packed daily routine. Most of them are even advised to use cloth nappies right from the start, for their li’l ones—and with good reason—you save on the gazillion nappy changes with disposable ones, and also manage to keep your munchkin’s delicate skin protected. You’ve probably heard a tale or two from your own mamas talk about the wonders of cloth diapering—a tradition practiced for centuries before disposable diapers hit the market. However, tradition managed to seamlessly worm it’s way into the 21st century, and a new revolution of modern cloth diapers is changing the diapering game. I’m sure you’ve been toying with…

Nature sustains us and helps us cope with life. It has both healing and stress-relieving properties. As adults living in a fast-paced urban environment, many of us are losing touch with nature, and becoming slaves to screens, gadgets, technology and city life. And while this lifestyle may offers all kinds of comforts and conveniences, it is also robbing us of a very important element from our life—the great outdoors. The advent of the unfortunate global pandemic, we are currently facing, has somehow realigned my perspective towards technology as opposed to nature. COVID-19 has clearly pointed out the major imbalances in our lives. Within just a few days of everything being locked down, there was a paradigm shift in the environment. City pollution levels dropped and we could breathe cleaner air.…

“Children who live in an atmosphere of love and warmth, and who have around them truly good examples to imitate, are living in their proper element.”Rudolf Steiner, The Education of the Child When we look at life in its totality, the formative years become very crucial in laying the foundation for the entire life. It’s the experiences in these golden years that shape up who we are in later years. Your tot completely trusts the environment, which includes us adults to take care of his needs and without any filters, soaks in everything we and the environment offer to him. It therefore, becomes our responsibility to care for and provide a nourishing environment for him to grow as a balanced human being. With the bombardment of media and the excessive…
