Summer Updates

Greetings! It has been a while since I last blogged. The last two blogs were so effective. Hence, I have cut down on my time spending in the world wide web and more in the world.

I am enjoying teaching yoga and giving Ayurvedic consultations more than ever. Sometime I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having found my dharma or righteous duty. For some of us it takes a while to feel our way through many roads and turns. All of them affect our physical and spiritual growth. The dharmic path finds us when we are ready for it.

I am reading a book called "How to be an Adult". The title sounds condescending but I think it's just plain honest. I have a long way to go in letting go of all neurotic responses (learned and used as childhood protections) and unleashing natural responses. Behavioral patterns are fascinating and Ayurveda explains them so well through the observance of Doshic imbalances.

Yoga is a great tool for transforming neurotic patterns into authentic ones. So, grab a mat, head to a yoga studio, get a book on Ayurveda or even better an ayurvedic consultation and get into yourself. Summer is the best time to enjoy you!

Well, here are the news. I am hosting an Ayurvedic cleanse workshop once a month at Downtown Yoga Shala in San Jose. The info is on my website as well as the Shala's. I did my cleanse a week ago, felt and still feel great and am looking forward to the next one.

Starting on the first Sunday of September'09 I will be teaching two morning yoga classes back to back at the popular Avalon Yoga in Palo Alto. I will lose my one and only whole day off but I will be enjoying and treasuring every moment.

Besides work, I am happy to report that my house is growing green. My partner Eric and I have been working hard on the yard and are enjoying the fruits of our effort. It's amazing what little it takes for the plants to thrive. So, get down and dirty, plant, breath and eat the Prana or vital life force that is nature. Merry summer to you all.
