“YStep into the year with intention, not pressure—and let consistency do the rest.” January is not about becoming someone new overnight, but about returning to yourself with clarity, intention, and quiet strength. Our January 2026 cover star, Nyrraa M Banerji, embodies this very philosophy. Known for her fearless presence and unwavering authenticity, Nyrraa represents a woman who chooses growth over noise and purpose over pressure.

Why Your Body Needs A Longer Warm-Up in Winter In cooler weather, blood flow to muscles is reduced, and the tissues become less elastic. Hence, it’s vital to extend your warm-up to at least 10–15 minutes, especially if you train in the early mornings. Start with gentle movements that raise your body temperature, like marching in place, spot jogging, or arm…
