Autumn greetings and blessings, beautiful friends! Summer was busy and wonderful! I spent 5 days in June with my teacher Shiva Rea in London, and we were so lucky to have a live music accompaniment by Ann Malone and Tom Simenauer, two wonderful musicians. Shiva's teaching in London kicked off with a workshop to support her Yoga Energy Activism project, encouraging the yoga community (and the world!) to make more conscious choices about our toxic energy use.  I have started to use more and more beeswax candles to light my yoga classes. |

‘Of the eight limbs of yoga, the first limb isyama, the ethical disciplines. These transcend creed, country, age and time. The areahimsa(non-violence),satya(truth),asteya(non-stealing),bramacharya(continence) andaparigraha(non-covetousness). These commandments are the rules of morality for society, which if not obeyed bring about chaos as a result of the evils of greed, desire and attachment. [...] By the observance ofaparigraha, the yogi makes his life as simple as possible and trains his mind not to feel the loss or the lack of anything. |
