Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I've done yoga for 20 years, but three years ago I discovered Bikram, or "hot", yoga and it's become a complete passion. You practise it in a room heated to 40 degrees, which lets you push yourself further. You go in like a piece of raw spaghetti and come out cooked!
I had to have a break from it at one stage, as I loved it so much that I was doing it to excess; now I only do it three times a week.
You sweat so much, it's hysterical. I look like I've been swimming and it gives you a constant bad-hair day, but it's brilliant for body and mind. It's based on a repetitive sequence of movements, so once you know it, it sends you into a deep meditative trance. It's particularly great for building mental stamina – I can now get past barriers that would once have daunted me.
