My mum immigrated to New Zealand more than a decade before I was born, but even now, I’d say she still hasn’t fully adjusted to the cooler climate. So while I’ve never lived anywhere where it snows during winter, I grew up practicing hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) - the now ridiculously popular Danish concept of cosiness.

One Friday at work, in between emails, face-to-face conversations and a myriad other notifications, I received an email invite to a yoga workshop at my favourite studio on Sunday, and excitedly accepted.
