going deep open new doors
We like to stay in our comfort zone, as it feel safe. But i feel that yoga should give one the chance to explore past ones comfort zone , both physically, emotionally, and mentally, this way new doors open. Why are we so resistant . This is my offering to my student, to help others feel empowered to move past there fear and past their comfort zone. A friend said to me today, that not everyone wants that, and that i go to deep. But this is what i am about. IF you really want to go deep with me, then come to india in Jan 2012. Its filling up
Waves of devotion yoga flow
This movies was taken in Laguna beach. We found this wonderful cave, it took some adventure to get too, but was worth every moment. My friend then shot this movies. It is not with instruction but is purely inspirational. Yoga is about connecting to the inner wave, and making it an offering of devotion. Enjoy
Receipt for Omega Greens Power Bar
I created this great omega greens power bar. Here is the receipt.
1/3 cup ground hemp seeds,
1/3 cup ground chai seeds ,
1/3 cup ground flax seeds.
1/2 oats, 1 cup walnuts,
1/2 cup dried cherries or goji berries.
1 table spoon of maple syrup ,
1 1/2 teaspoons of wheat grass powder.
1 1/2 teaspoons of spiralina.
Blend all the ingredients up in a food processor until smooth. lay it out on a dish. melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and spread over the top. Set in fridge . You then have a wonderful green, omega power bar. serve 5 bars. Tip- i bye the hemp, chai and green powder on line. (nutsonline.com). its really cheap , and i ground them myself.
i created this bar as i wanted to feed my kids something that was full of omega fatty acids as we dont eat meat. i could not buy the bars at whole foods all the time as that works out too pricey , and so i bought a brunch of ingredients on line , really cheap. And created my own bars without sugar. sometime i dont even add the mayple, instead i use a bit of water to help bind.
Flowing with the breath
Flowing with the breath empowers one to connect to a sacred power that is within. The breath when practiced with attention with movement, will vitalize, energize and rejuvenate the mind body and self. The breath teaches me how to tap into a healing power within and to generate it to where my body needs healing. This practice is a flow of connecting one breath with each movement. Watch it first , then begin to practice. It is a complete practice, but a warm may be added to the beginning. IF you like this flow subscribe and you will get weekly instructional sequences.
