Yoga

It's not just for girls and/or hippies.  In London, the Iyengar Institute in Maida Vale is highly recommended. 

 

Nutrition

Are you drinking at least eight glasses of water a day?  Are you getting enough vitamin C and essential fatty acids in your diet?  Recommended reading on how diet affects your health includes "Beat Stress & Fatigue", "Optimum Nutrition for the Mind" and "New Optimum Nutrition Bible", all by Patrick Holford.

 

Meditation

Meditation reduces stress and anxiety and is no longer seen as something wacky.  If you don't fancy chanting "om", then try Acem Meditation.  It's a non-relgious form of meditation developed in Norway by doctors and psychologists to aid relaxation, energy, health and personal growth. Courses take place around the UK.  

 

Study something fun

Central St Martins College of Art and Design - evening, weekend and holiday courses

City Lit - huge range of short courses covering a large range of subjects

The Open University - no longer the home of 70's professors muttering late into the night on BBC2.  It is very slick and professional and offers a large choice of courses

Hot Courses - lots of choice here

 

Cooking

Leiths - unwind after work by learning some dinner party winners at this famous school

Books for cooks - workshops at this cute Notting Hill venue
