Three times a week at 7AM my Dad drives to a dance studio five blocks from the beach.  In the bright, hardwood room, which sits above a Radioshack, a muscular man with a shaved head and board shorts whispers instructions in a mix of English and Sanskrit.  My Dad, and the rest of the class - mostly lithe, tanned actresses and trophy wives wearing black Lululemmon tights - bend and twist into strange shapes.  The windows fog over with the moisture of their collective breath.

I borrowed this from the web> I think most of us can relate.

This is a rather personal piece stemming from my recent experiences. To me, it is all about finding yourself again in the chaos around you and focusing on the important things instead of being distracted by the outside as well as your own mind playing tricks on you.

A mind map on meditation

I found this mind map on the internet.

I have been doing yoga for a little over a year now and has really gotten into the whole yoga experience. Not just the asanas or pranayamas, but also the lifestyle and spiritual aspects. But I don't want this blog to be too serious. I will post something of everything I find related to my yoga-side of life.

I hope everyone will enjoy it.

Love, Peace and Joy!!!!!
