How to take your yoga off the mat and into daily life

The Yoga Lunchbox is New Zealand’s only online yoga magazine, providing a tangible way for yogis to connect, converse, and share how they live and practice their yoga.

This page showcases all of our article and article series that focus on how to take your yoga off the mat and bring it in every aspect of your life.

It’s a juicy conversation, and it ranges from bringing yoga into your relationship with food to incorporating yoga with business principles, and exploring how yoga affects parenting and even house cleaning.
