It has been a few times now. When I take my dog out for a walk, he would always make numerous stops and sniff around. Often I go ahead of him and I would say "Gio, come on!

As well, how is your body feeling today? Even during the day, our feelings change periodically. These feelings range from negative to low to neutral to postive to high. Feelings can also be considered physically and emotionally. Are we aware of our feelings? Are we also aware of how our bodies are feeling?
You wake up in the morning, you feel groggy because your body didnt have a restful night. Your BODY feels tired. You go to work happy but sitting in front of the computer for too long makes your shoulder feel sore. YOU feel tired.

One of Buddha’s main teachings is that Everything in life is Impermanent. What does Impermanence mean? It can mean different things to all of us but I think the best way to understand “Impermanence” is to say that everything in life will change.

Sometimes I think my life is perfect and I'm the happiest person on this earth. Maybe I am...because Yoga brings me happiness, awareness and breathe. I am not the most determined student but I am still proud of the fact that I have yoga in my life. Being a yoga teacher, helping others feel what yoga can do, I am proud of myself. I love seeing the transformations in each student, when everyone starts to FEEL the yoga, SEEING the transformations in their mind, body and spirit, I am excited to sharing the experience with them.

Yoga is... Yoga is awareness. From practicing yoga, one becomes more aware of one’s body, one’s being, and one’s presence. The person would also become more aware of the physical surroundings, the air, the senses, and the presence of others. Yoga is the union of achieving mind-body-soul connections. These 3 aspects are focused and being present when practicing yoga. The emphasis on these 3 aspects brings out the awareness of the practitioner. Yoga is a non-judgmental practice. Every individual incorporates his/her own physical limits, own values and own personal experiences.

I Love this time of the year, 6 more sleeps till Christmas and Friday is the first day of Winter. Buildings and trees are lit up, people are generally quite happy and most of us are consuming waaay too much chocolates/sugar;-) Not to mention I have a month off school, thus I have a lot of time on my hand to relax and chill.

Have you ever thanked yourself, your body for practicing yoga? Whether you do it religiously or have only done it once. Thank yourself for doing that. It's an experience I am sure you would never forget. It could a bad experience which made you never want to do yoga again :) (If that's the case, I hope you will resurrect that soon) or it could certainly have a positive impact on you and now you are hooked.
