My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • I am about to do my next visa run to the Oman border…. I am hoping that there will be fewer passengers and I am meeting them at the second to last pick-up point in hopes of minimizing my time in the car as much as possible. Hopefully this will be the last visa run that I have to do and that either I will be coming in on a new visa or…

  • Okay, so it has been months that I have been stuck on a book from Book Club. It just has not kept my attention even though it is actually interesting. Perhaps it is because it is depressing and it not really told in a way that makes me properly connect with any of the characters. I think it is fiction based on true events, but in any case I am struggling through it.…

  • My logical brain says that it is time to start to prepare for life after: full-time yoga training constant stress of M’s situation worry about paying people back fretting on how to pay the next bills For almost 18 months or maybe even close to two years, it has been a life of stress and struggle. I took for granted my health insurance, regular paycheck, being rent-free and choosing a life of leisure…

  • It was a lovely weekend overall, though I guess I am a bit tired from it. This is normal for me, but it was the end of a part of my yoga chapter. These beautiful ladies all graduated from the 200hr Kaya Yoga Teacher Training held in Abu Dhabi at the Bodytree Studio from January to June 2017. The final practical exams were held this weekend with the ladies bringing their clients to our place…

  • After a week and weekend of overdoing the TV time, I think that it is necessary to have an upping on my working out even if that means a lot of yoga! By the end of this week, I will have completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training course making me a full-fledged RYS-500 yoga instructor!!! June 4th (Sunday) 60′ yoga practice with meditation 60′ Ladies Wellness Yoga 60′ Private yoga session June 5th (Monday)…

  • Often we talk about karma in the world of yoga. It is more than just what we understand as what comes around goes around. Karma relates to the deeds – good or bad – that you do, have done, will do as well as those of your ancestors going back to the beginning of the existence of your soul. If you believe in God as a Christian or any other formal popular religion then…

  • 3.9 Nirodha parinama is that state of transformation of mind where it is permeated by the moment of suppression which appears and disappears between incoming and outgoing samskaras. (vyutthana nirodhah samskara abhibhava pradurbhavau nirodhah ksana chitta anvayah nirodhah-parinamah) ~Sage Patanjali It is fitting that on the last weekend of my 200hr Teacher Training that I spend some time reflecting on the journey of yoga that I have taken since November 2015. Nineteen months of…

  • It seems that the world and life in general is a game of see-saw. Up and down. If someone pushes stronger, the other person goes higher. If one person weighs more, they go lower. See-saws were not meant to be balanced – otherwise what would be the point of them? So, is the idea of having balance in life just a whimsical myth? Perhaps, instead, it is just a matter of knowing how…

  • Just a short update – things are starting to look up at last. Yesterday I read a horoscope that a friend had posted on FB. The link doesn’t work anymore for some reason, but you will have to take my word for it that it said that the struggles of the last two years will come to an end this week. It seems that perhaps there is something to the horoscope….  I am…

  • Remember how just over a week ago I said we were saying YES to options? Well, the interesting thing is that the options we thought we would have to decide upon are not the ones that we decided….That’s a confusing sentence! Lemme break it down. When I started sending out CVs I got immediate positive responses to positions around the world, but particularly in Saudi Arabia. It was a bit of a surprise…
