Yes, I know I've shared the dawn in Bangalore from my rooftop before - but allow me a little nostalgia about my home as I'll be leaving here soon (very soon actually - we're at 7 weeks and counting - aaaaah, so much to do). This was shot 30 December, so it's very...

This is where I was staying in Phuket. Fabulous, eh? Chosen, I might add, so that I could film my new training videos there. Rather splendid as a backdrop, even if you can hear the hum of the pool pumps. I was here to sort out my Indian visa which was a bit of a pain...

A few people have been asking me what it was like where I was staying last week, so here it is. Rather lovely, as you can see. Mai Khao is a National Park in the north of Phuket Island (which is the largest in Thailand). How so many lovely hotels have been built there...

So as you read this, I'll be in Thailand. I have to go and top up my Indian visa as you're not allowed to stay more than 180 days in the country in one go on the visa I have. That's not normally a problem as I move about a lot, but since I got back from NYC in the...

I took this weeks 1 minute holiday in the dark days of February 2013. As you can see, Britain was living up to it's reputation for somewhat rubbish weather. But do check out the glory of the National Gallery - gorgeous, eh? Even on a day this likely to rain. -:--:-...

Now, this is something I've been wanting to do for a while - bring you 1 minute holidays from some of the lovely people that work with Rethink Central. As you know, I'm in India, but perhaps what you don't realise is that most of the team is very far flung as well. We...

Now this weeks video is something very special. I've been saving it as something of a finalé for the year. I was privileged enough to go to a baby turtle sanctuary in Sri Lanka two years back. They allow you to help save baby turtles - olive ridgebacks - by releasing...

This week, we're back at one of our very first 1 minute holidays: the beautiful temple at the Norbulingka Institute in Dharamsala. The institute was set up to keep the Tibetan arts alive while so many people are living in exile. Artists do long apprenticeships here...

Last year I took a bit of a jaunt to the delightful Neeleshwar Hermitage, to check it out as a possible venue for a retreat. Gorgeous, eh? There are beautiful cottages, miles of untouched beach, and brilliant Ayurvedic treatments.. but it's down possibly the worst...

Come and stand with me on the roof checking out Manhattan in all it’s beautiful glory. Shiny buildings, the sound of the city, all that amazing blue sky. It’s a 1 minute marvel. A tiny vacation in only a minute

Now this is Om Beach, which is really quite delightful. It's just south of Goa in the state I live in Karnataka. It's very lovely and I was there about four years ago scouting locations for Rethink Retreats. It's a hard life as you can imagine! The beach is named...

This week we're back on the beach again - we've had something of a run of them recently - some sunnier than others. This one is the endlessly long beach at Ponducherry, haunt of the early morning exerciser. Get down there around 7am and it is rammed with people...

This is the beautiful Osa Peninsular in the south of Costa Rica. A quite remarkable place; it's home to a variety of rare and endangered forests, creatures and apparently the incredibly rare phenomena of a tropical fjord. To be honest, even though I've been there, I...

Following on from last weeks reminder of the summer in the UK - here's another seasonal moment; this time a flash of the monsoon in Kerala. Come and sit on the porch with me and listen to the night rains lash the beach hotel I was staying at last year. Forgive the...

Apparently something called 'summer' has recently arrived in the UK. It's not been seen for years, and in honour of the freakishly good weather I give you a tiny one minute holiday at the seaside. Admittedly taken back in May, so not that sunny a day. But it'll give...

Now this is a fabulous 1 minute holiday. Pull up a chair and watch this beautiful thing, an eagle making lazy circles at the stunningly beautiful Tierra Magnifica in Nosara, Costa Rica. This is where I was last November and it's a truly amazing place. First there's...

Generally, we don't get a very serious monsoon in Bangalore - but all the same it's a noisy old business when it does turn up. I love it, but it ain't quiet. So come and spend a rainy moment with me at Rethink Central - stand in my front room and marvel at the sound...

I've been promising this forever... well at least since last October last year, when I visited after my lovely yoga retreat in the Punjab. The video is shot from the same hotel which bizarely had a tree situated in my room. Yes, that's in my room. Not near it, not by...
