Sunset Yoga

H

It was a cool evening. The birds were chirping and  the cool breeze carressed our skin as we do downward dog and other poses. 

By the time it was savasana, the sun was setting. 

What a wonderful was to practice yoga amidst nature.

I even heard somebody saying,"i needed this."

Yoga anywhere, everywhere.

This is why I love Yoga.

You just need your breath, a pair of hands and focus.

There is no need for equipments. 

Your body is the weights.

Your breath is your energy

Your focus is ypur commitment.

All my gratitude

I went back to the island that I have visited countless times in the past 27 years. When I first found this island, Rawa, we stayed in A huts with kerosene lamps. It was rustic, simple and cheap. How modernity has crept in. Its now a full fledged resort. Its popularity means the price of accommodation has skyrocketed  too. But I am thankful that I have been blessed all these years. Just like the resort, my life has taken its own route, to flourish and prosper. I have only gratitude and love in my heart. I am blessed and I cannot ask for a better life.

Glorious day at Rawa to pose with asanas and meditate.

One year after 46

Yesterday was my birthday. I am 47 but in my heart I always feel like I am 28. 

Anyway within one year, my life has changed so much due mainly to one gift- my Birthday present last year.

Last year I had asked hubby for my Yoga teacher training course as a Birthday present. 

It has taken me on a magnificent journey from learning new things, making new friends, teach and most of all learn new things about myself.

I love learning and I don't think I will ever stop.

So here's to getting more flexible, more knowledgeable, more loving and health alwAys.

 I love this beautiful photo taken on my birthday@ my 500hr YTTC, Tirisula Yoga

Play and fly

Today I met 7 others in my 200hr YTTC for a practice. It has been awhile. When I was in the mrt, i was feeling rather lazy and thought I will not do the demanding astanga but maybe practice some mild poses.

When I reached there, I could hear the ujjayi breathing loud and clear. Everybody was into it though some smiled and said hi.  

What i did next surprised even myself. My tiredness disappeared and in my mind I said,"I must start so that I do not lag behind." Its a total reversal of what I had planned.  

I had lots of fun today

Birthday gift came early

Last month, i was thinking, how nice it would be if I taught a class outside of my yoga studio, before my birthday.

I felt that would be the ultimate dream come true.

Apparently God heard me. Knew what is in my heart and granted my wish a week before my birthday.

Thank you.
