Yoga in Frankfurt

2017-03-15T03:05:48+00:00May 22nd, 2016|Travel, Yoga|

Just after clearing security, to my delight, I came upon a Yoga room.  I entered the unoccupied peaceful sanctuary and welcomed my happy solitude.  I removed my shoes and my YogiTote* from my carry-on backpack. * A YogiTote is a yoga mat sized terry cloth towel with plastic nubs on one side to help prevent slipping around while practicing yoga. I always carry my YogiTote with me for travel as more and more airports have yoga rooms.  I just place it over the complimentary yoga mat, and also use it in my hotel room, it is much lighter

Leaving the City by the Bay

As I handed my passport and ticket to the Lufthansa agent at San Francisco International Airport, I felt a deep and profound release of identity, as one often does when surrendering one’s passport.  Yet, this was at a whole different level.  Something deep inside me was changing, and there was nothing I could about it.  The transformation process has begun, so all I can do is become one with the change, to move with it, to breathe with it, to nurture it. After making my way to the Lufthansa lounge, where I intended to begin this blog, I

Did I attain Spiritual Enlightenment?

In May of 2015, when my teacher, Michele Herbert, author of The Tenth Door, extended to me the invitation to join her and others on this Spiritual Pilgrimage to India, the ashram experience provided certitude for my decision to accept. Michel and her husband, Mehrad, had studied under Swami Veda Bharati for over 20 years, and had visited his ashram at the base of the Himalayas in Rishikesh, India, on multiple occasions. For seven days, one-third of our visit, we stayed at the”daughter” ashram originally founded by Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama; Śrī Swāmī Rāma, who “left his body” in

Did I see people lying on beds of nails?

Continuing with answering questions from my family and friends, with respect to my recent Spiritual Yoga Pilgrimage to India. This question is my personal favorite as it makes me laugh out-loud every time I think of it.  This comes from my Canadian friend, Dr. Noel. Before I left for India, I designed for myself a periodization schedule as a method of emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual training.  For those of you not familiar with a periodization schedule, it is a methodological and systematic program specifically designed to achieve peak performance in sport.  I used meditation, weight training, study

And, now I am back home

If you have been following this blog - why?  I haven't posted anything!  Reason being - spotty interweb and my complete desire to not miss a moment, a breath, or a smile. "What happened in India?"  "Did I find Spiritual Enlightenment?"  "Am I now a Hindu?" These are some of the  fascinating questions my family and friends have asked me, along with - "You didn't drink the water did you?"  "Do cows really roam the streets?"  "Are there dead bodies floating in the Ganges?"   And my personal favorite - "Did you see people laying on beds of

Why INDIA ?

2017-03-09T18:58:22+00:00February 1st, 2016|India, Travel, Yoga|

When we look at where we are, at any present moment, we can look back at all of the points that when connected, lead us to our current place.  The Now.  My path has lead me to listen.  Really listen.  What I heard was Mother India is calling.  I go to her, Now.
