Travelling with a true heart
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 27/01/2017
» This week, we sat down with Natalie Glebova, a remarkable woman whose name needs no introduction in our city. Travelling the world, becoming a mother and spearheading humanitarian causes that give back to communities are among some of the things she's been up to lately.
Breaking the cycle with rhythm
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 30/12/2016
» Daniel Eastwood is the head rhythm cycling instructor at Absolute Cycle, The Commons (fb.com/absolutecyclebangkok). If you've ever been to one of his classes you'll know how fuelled with energy he is — the type that motivates you to keep going. Working in the finance industry (for 18 years) marked a time when he experienced dwindling energy, held excess weight and had no standard exercise routine. Falling in love with rhythm cycling was what changed his life. And now he just keeps going.
Abs, empathy and edge
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 02/12/2016
» One hour with Chakrit Narula, a personal trainer at The Edge Boutique Gym (http://fb.com//theedgeboutiquegym) and you feel like you've done your bit for the year. Despite his military approach to working out, what we like about Chakrit is his ability to relate with us normal humans who don't work out - or plan to - 24/7. We aren't robots and we're very much driven by realness and that "yeah I'll get round to it" mentality. We stumble. We fall. We fail. Chakrit's seen about every colour of the human condition when it comes to physical fitness, and this translates in his ability to motivate us. He wasn't always all abs and bones you know. Here's his story.
From nightclubs to nature
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 18/11/2016
» As Bangkok's nightclubs cool down on their opening hours and the weather follows suit with cooler and more bearable temperatures, the urge to spend time in nature has grown. Call us crazy but there's something so soothing about spending time immersed in greenery, inhaling nothing but oxygen and the smell of real earth, instead of that foul drain smell Bangkokians have become accustomed to. Wasn't it amid such greenery, in a forest not so far away that the Lord Buddha found enlightenment? OK, we're not suggesting you escape the city life to reach nirvana or anything. Unless of course, you want to. But, it's good to know that a lot of peace and tranquillity can come from just sitting still and, without sounding too cheesy, taking in the beauty and wonder that is nature.
The commons misconception
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 29/07/2016
» We spend enough time at The Commons as it is so we thought it would be worthwhile dividing our time there up a bit. Eating waffles and drinking wine after all does get a bit boring. So we did something pretty risqué. Instead of heading to Beer Cap, we decided to climb all the way to the (almost) top of The Commons. #pushingtheboatoutguys. Low and behold, we found Absolute You, another franchise of the Absolute Yoga empire that has been bending Bangkokians into all sorts of questionable positions since 2002.
