Unlike traditional yoga, Corporate Yoga adapts ancient practices to fit modern lifestyles. It's a crucial aspect of overall wellness, promoting a sustainable way of living (Beyond Yoga Poses).

Corporate Yoga: Cultivating Mental Well-being
Welcome
to the challenging world of corporate life, where meeting targets, handling
stress, and navigating through daily pressures are part of the routine. As you
progress in your career, stress tends to mount, compounded by the demands of
work and the hassles of commuting. In such a fast-paced environment, finding
time for self-care, like Zen yoga, may seem like a distant dream. Unexpected
work changes, looming deadlines, or traffic snarls can easily disrupt your
plans for relaxation.

Malay Style Prawn Noodles/Mee Udang
Let's
chat about food and how it fits into our busy lives. Nowadays, it's pretty
common to eat out because, let's face it, everyone's hustling, especially women
who are not just holding down jobs but climbing the career ladder too. Kudos to
them! But here's the snag: there's hardly any time left for cooking at home.
Some folks have helpers or live-in moms taking care of the kitchen
duties, but for others, it's all about ordering in, which can get pricey. Even
kiddos, as young as 10, are pros at hitting up food delivery apps. Weekends
often mean dining out, and this lack of home-cooked meals might explain why
health issues, like obesity, are creeping up among the young ones who just
can't resist good grub.
Chonburi to Pattaya (Thailand): Ms. Nava's First Solo Travel and Beyond
Back
from my very first trip abroad (Milan), can you believe it? Within just two months (Rome), I
found myself on my first solo adventure. It wouldn't have happened without my
girlfriend, who was at Amata Golf & Country Club in Chonburi, Thailand,
organizing a golf tournament. She was amazing. Without her, I wouldn't have
even considered traveling alone, especially for the first time. I owe her so
much. But it's heartbreaking to think she's no longer here. She passed away a
few years ago from breast cancer, in her early 50s. I miss her till this day. I
was there for her through everything, from her chemotherapy to her funeral. It
still brings tears to my eyes.
But let's put that aside for a moment. I booked my flight to Bangkok, and my hub saw me off at the check-in. I was shaking with nerves as I went through the procedures. Basically following others, and made it in one piece on board.

"Como, Lugano, and Milan: Lakeside Escapes and Urban Adventures
The final stretch of my 9-day Italian adventure (Verona) marked another chapter
of exploration, beginning with a visit to the stunning Lake Como, nestled
cozily in the embrace of Lombardy. The moment I laid eyes on its tranquil
waters, I was utterly captivated. We took our time, strolling leisurely along
the shoreline, capturing each moment with our cameras and basking in the
peaceful atmosphere. The morning breeze was crisp, sending shivers down my
spine, but thankfully, my trusty scarf came to the rescue. While I was wrapped
up like a mummy, the others seemed unaffected, lost in the beauty of the lake.

Portuguese Vegetable Pickle/Achar: A Flavorful Delight from Tradition
In 2020, I whipped up this Portuguese vegetable pickle, or achar, as some may call it. This isn't my first rodeo with it - I've made it a couple of times before. You might be wondering why I'm only sharing it now. Well, the idea struck me as I was browsing through our YouTube channel. I thought, "Why not feature it as part of our Zen Cuisine?" Plus, not everyone prefers video recipes; some prefer the written words.
Named as vegetable
pickle, I've experimented with various veggies like carrots, cabbage, long
beans, fresh beans, and even ginger. But after a couple of tries, I've settled
on just green chilies, shallots, and garlic because these are what we tend to
prefer, not the vegetables. That's what you'll find in the final product.

Verona, Italy: A Journey Through Romance and History
As
the days dwindled down to just two left in Italy (Venice), a feeling of reluctance
settled in (Florence). How I wished our tour could stretch on indefinitely, allowing us to
bask in the beauty of this enchanting country a little while longer (Rome). But alas,
reality beckoned, and we had to prepare for our return to the daily grind.
Our next destination: Verona. By 9:00 am, we found ourselves standing before the majestic Adige River, its clean waters flowing serenely beneath our gaze. The sight was a balm to our senses, soothing our souls as we took in the natural wonder of the surrounding hills and bridges that dotted the landscape.
