Middle Aged Women Who Spend Too Much Time Sitting

Two women – heaps of opinions

About impossible yoga poses, lurking double chins and other joys: Dora Heldt and Anouk Schollähn’s humorous, thought-provoking and comforting columns about age differences, relationships, mothers’ words of wisdom and adversities best faced together.
