Sometimes when we look for practical solutions we end up sacrificing our true nature. Since I started with my new job a few months ago, I chose what I thought would be the most convenient place for my yoga practice (one block away from my office). At first it was ok as everything was new and it was really convenient,
In the picture: Joyce Thom I love to see how different traditions around the world have developed from the same principles. It all basically comes to a difference in language but the essence is the same. This year at the Asia Yoga Conference I took some Qi Gong classes as I have always been intrigued by the healing power of
This year at the Asia Yoga Conference, I chose classes that focused in the most common issues my students face, and when I booked the class Overcoming Fear and other Obstacles I thought it was going to be more about meditation, but to my surprise (even if it was kind of obvious) it was all about inversions, arm balances and
Today I have more questions than answers! And I think this is a very positive state to be at as it makes you go beyond reality and it demands a lot of patience. Most of the time we try so hard to seek for answers that we are blinded! We should just relax and have faith because the answers are

Are you sick and tired of that permanent, annoying and irritating pain in the back, shoulders or neck? If sometimes it feels like you have a heavy monkey hanging from your shoulders, or that your neck has been surrounded in heavy cement, you might just be avictim of stress. Unless you have a physical condition or an injury, most of the

The Hindu Pantheon is a place where myth and reality are perfectly mixed. It is not a place for punishment or prohibition, but a place where everything seems possible! I have always been fascinated by the aesthetics and dynamics of Hinduism Deities: the blue Gods with multiple arms riding bulls, eagles and tigers; the possibility of disguising just to conquer
I’m sure we all have our favorite Yoga postures; those postures that we crave for or that we just enjoy doing.
