quote of the day

Stand still. The trees ahead and the bushes beside you

Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

"Whether or not buddhas appear, the truth remains the same. Heaven and hell are not topographies, but exist as states within our own minds."

partner yoga workshop

my dear friend lenka nezvalová and myself are teaching a partner yoga workshop on saturday february 21.

if you'd like to join us for three hours of yoga done mostly in pairs to explore different facets of the asana and breathing practice which may then inform your own practice, making you aware of some other aspects, you're very welcome to do so! all deets are included in the flyer.

you don't have to come with your life-time partner - partner poses have nothing to do with match-making :) partner poses are meant to allow you help each other "get" some points commonly mentioned in regular classes, and take that understanding to your own, personal practice. if this idea speaks to you, maybe the workshop can be a chance to give it a try.

april yoga retreat in egypt

in days when the winter will have lost all of its chilly charm and spring will no longer be shy to reveal its tender beauty, our bodies and minds will crave the sun and the warm touch it brings to everything that bathes in its warm light. is there a better time to spend seven days filled with yoga, relaxation and exploration at one of the most beautiful golden beaches of egypt?

those of you who have said "yes", read no further and go and do something useful. or something you like. or both :)

if, on the other hand, you think marrying yoga practice with a perfect holiday sounds like a great idea, why don't you join my dear friend lenka nezvalova and myself to salute the sun, the spring and the south of sinai at our yoga retreat in dahab?

click here for details. there are still a few last spots left, so if you'd like to join us, we'll be very happy to have you!
