International Yoga Day 2016


International Yoga Day is on June 21, 2016.  I am hosting an event at the beach in Las Penitas and coordinating it as a larger event in Leon as well with Yoga Leon Nicaragua from 6pm-8:30pm.  We are hoping to reach 170 people with this event.  The event will have teams doing 108 surya namaskars.  The following sponsors are helping to make it an unforgettable event for my first event in Nicaragua and I am very excited.   

 That is a whole other item.....my first event in Nicaragua.  I have found something to take me out of my comfort zone and I am really enjoying the challenge involved in every aspect of creating this event.  I am learning and growing and therefore I am alive.  I am extremely grateful to everyone who is supporting this event and introducing yoga to as many people as we can in Nicaragua.

My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

Energy Healing: The Essentials of Self Care This one resonated with me. I could hardly put it down and that is unusual for me with a book in this genre. It all started for me on page 10 with a great composite view of different energy anatomies that had been explained in the preceding pages. For me, it really brought together the Chinese medicine, Thai massage, chakras and aura system in relation to each other. The healing stories through opening our connections to the energy fields of the universe were motivating and interesting to read. The first exercise I tried was the first one in the book "toe tapping". It's a pretty simple exercise so following the instructions was easy. I only kept it up for about a week but I believe I did start to feel benefits. I like to meditate and I am always looking for new ideas. This book provided. I still want to try the metta meditation and many of the other meditations that are throughout the book. I still have a numb...
