Expanding Horizons in April

This year I have been expanding my horizons on every level.

I did a 21 day mantra challenge with Deva Premal and Miten.  It took me more like 28 days but that's cool, I completed it.  Not only completed it but actively went looking for more.  That brought me to the gayatri mantra which I have chanted enough now, that it came to mind as I woke up this morning. I didn't recite it a 108 times but I am a firm believer in starting small.  One of my favourite quotes is "If you build it they will come." from  Field of Dreams..circa old.  I can feel the energy building and while it is scary it is also very positive.

Got my first 12 hours of shiatsu training last month....at Casa Ananda right here in Las PeƱitas!


I remember first being introduced to shiatsu in Vancouver in the late 90's.  I can add it as a compliment in my thai yoga massages because I am already pressing most of the points and I can add a couple extra.  I have been practicing on myself.

Which brings me to nightly foot massages.... I have been giving them to myself in accordance with my ayurvedic daily routine.  They already feel better....my feet and all my concerns.

Join me in May and see what we're up to...Lots of great workshops coming in May.  Follow me on Facebook for more updates.

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

Here goes I am embarking on a two year adventure into myself and the world around me through yoga, massage, coaching and other modalities.  With this journey comes a great reading list and journaling.  This is not something I have ever been able to keep up, with much regularity, as you can see from my posts here.....lol One day I may succeed as I continue to practice for the next two years. I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. 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....
