NAKED YOGA VOL11There are days when you wake up feeling like the world is running two speeds ahead of you. Everything is moving, everything is urgent, everything needed to be done yesterday. Messages, work, obligations, noise, rush… and there you are, trying not to let your brain melt like a cheap candle.
Experts say our levels of stress and cortisol are the highest we’ve had in modern times. And honestly, it checks out. Sure, we’re not in the Middle Ages, waking up every morning thinking, “let’s see if an entire army shows up to ruin my day.” That had to be a whole different kind of stress spike. But what we deal with now isn’t exactly light either. It’s another kind of war, quieter, but just as draining.
That’s why, every now and then, you have to just stop. Literally. Stop. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Pull the air all the way in and let it go like you’re emptying yourself from the inside out. Clear your head, loosen your shoulders, turn down the volume of the outside world and give your inside a moment to breathe.
And that’s where yoga comes in. Not the poser kind, not the perfect-Instagram-picture kind. No. The kind that slows your heartbeat, that resets you from the inside, that forces you to listen to your body even if you’ve been ignoring it for months.

COFFEE VOL3Coffee is actually a
seed, not a bean. It comes from inside a fruit called the
coffee cherry, which turns red and pretty sweet when it’s ripe. What we roast is really
the pit of that fruit.
The second most traded product in the world, right after
oil, is
coffee. And yet, for centuries it was treated as something almost
medicinal, closer to a remedy than to an everyday drink.
Caffeine isn’t there to wake us up: it’s the plant’s
defense mechanism. It helps repel insects. Basically, we’re getting hooked on a kind of
plant-made pesticide… and we love it.
Coffee can contain more than
800 aromatic compounds, while wine usually stays around
400. That’s why a good coffee can remind you of
chocolate,
nuts,
wood,
caramel… or even
leather.
In the
17th century, some governments tried to
ban coffee because they thought it encouraged
critical thinking and political conspiracies. Coffee houses were seen as
dangerous places where people talked way too much.
Espresso doesn’t have more caffeine than a regular long coffee; in fact, it often has
less overall. The thing is, it hits fast and concentrated, and the brain reads that impact as stronger.
Decaf coffee is not
100% caffeine-free. There’s always a small amount of caffeine left, even if it’s very low. If you drink several cups back to back,
you’ll still feel something.
There’s coffee that passes through the
digestive system of animals (civets, elephants…) and is then collected, cleaned, and roasted. And yes: it’s
expensive,
rare, and pretty
controversial.
Freshly ground coffee starts to
lose its aroma within minutes. That’s why whole beans that are
properly stored will always beat pre-ground coffee by a landslide.
One last thing: coffee
doesn’t dehydrate you the way people say it does. Over time, the body adapts to caffeine and the
diuretic effect becomes minimal.

As you’ve probably heard by now, Telegram decided to wipe out our channel — the one with
almost 30k followers.
Apparently they deleted
thousands of channels overnight, and ours got caught in the purge.
I’ve been thinking a lot about whether to
start a new one or just
let it go. It’s hard to put time and energy into
building a community only to have it disappear from one day to the next. But the truth is, it had already become part of my
daily routine, and I actually
miss sharing stuff there.
And honestly, if nearly
30,000 people chose to follow it, I couldn’t have been doing that bad of a job.
So, even knowing they might delete it again — in fact, assuming its
days are numbered — we’re
creating a new channel. Same idea as before: a place where you can access not only the content from the
website but also everything I share
daily on Telegram.
The difference this time is that the channel will be
private.
Instead of having a
readable public link, it’ll work only through an
invitation link.
Before, anyone scrolling through channels could
stumble upon ours and join.
Now that won’t happen.
This will be a
private space — a channel just for
ALRNCN friends.
I can’t promise how long it’ll last, but if you decide to join, you’ll be able to tell your grandkids:
“I was there, and I saw wonderful things.”
