What’s New In Health & Fitness This Month
Emerald & Tiger
Sound baths have been used for centuries as a form of healing – and this healing happens without you having to do anything. Think of a sound bath as a fast-track meditation that accelerates mindfulness without you having to actively think about switching off. Keen to try one for yourself? Emerald & Tiger founder Jasmin Harsono is hosting a pop-up at the new Ten studio in King’s Cross until the beginning of July – you’ll find her there every other Saturday, alternating weekends with Almira Alidon, founder of The Sound Shift. There will be breathwork classes every Wednesday evening, too.

WithU
If your Saturdays start with a local Parkrun, you’ll know the benefits include structure and motivation to improve your PB come the weekend. To give your training a helping hand, sign up to the WithU app, which has recently launched a Parkrun programme. Whether you’re looking to run your 5k in 35, 30, 25 or 20 minutes, there’s a programme for you, comprising guided runs, mobility and bodyweight strength and conditioning, all with the goal of making you a better and more efficient runner.

Yogi Bare
If you’re one of the many who starts their day with Pilates, Yogi Bare’s new mat, designed in collaboration with Pilates instructor Lottie Murphy, is worth keeping on your radar. Featuring alignment lines to help you improve your technique, impressive grip and cushioning at 8mm thickness, the stylish mat (we loved the curved edge) is the ultimate companion to your home workouts. Lottie has handwritten ‘enjoy this moment’ on the mat, serving as a gentle reminder to embrace each Pilates session as a moment of self-care.

Zing
A first-of-its-kind toothpaste, Zing does away with toxic ingredients commonly found in supermarket formulas, using natural alternatives for a cleaner, healthier mouth. For example, each Zing blend is free from SLS, a foaming agent that can cause mouth ulcers, and instead uses hydroxyapatite, an ingredient first developed by Nasa that bolsters enamel and reduces sensitivity, as well as papain, a powerful whitening enzyme that brightens teeth in just two weeks. Available in four flavours – Mint, Soft Lemon, Peach, and Apple & Kiwi – Zing is already endorsed by leading dentists.

Tocu
Coeliac Joanna Nicola founded TOCU after struggling to find a supplement that worked with her body. Her clever vitamin patches bypass the digestive system, which not only makes them ideal for those with stomach sensitivities but also those who struggle to swallow large capsules. Plus, the patches allow nutrients to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, making them more bioavailable than your average supplement. Try Goal Getter for a cognitive boost, Super Woman for more balanced hormones, or Snooze Control to promote restful sleep.

MAYRLIFE

The week-long ‘The Cure’ promises serious results following a digestive tract assessment, blood tests, metabolic measurement and a tailored diet alongside abdominal massages and yoga.
