My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • _Yoga Therapy: A Guide to the Therapeutic Use of Yoga and Ayurveda for Health and Fitness_ by A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan This text that was required for my yoga teacher training course was one of my favorites.  It is easy to read for explanations on yoga as therapy looking at the whole person rather than yoga as fitness looking to exercise. There are also good tips for assessing new clients and sequencing…

  • Ah, do not let the title mislead you. I am by no means setting ‘real’ workout goals. However, that does not mean that I do not think about challenges. Given that my car is in the shop and M needed the car for morning appointments, it was most convenient to have him drop me off at our Tuesday morning meeting point on the Corniche. I think I mentioned that I have joined a…

  • Well, my best intentions of late have been waylaid the past few days. Not without some positive moments as well. 🙂 Thus, let me share what has been happening. On Thursday, we were in Dubai all day. I had made plans to go meet a few people from yoga about future work and collaborations. While that was only two meetings in the day, M also had a couple of appointments lined up with…

  • …or so the saying goes. This can be interpreted for the negative and the positive. At the moment, I’m having faith that there is a building up of the positive that is going to dump it all at once on us soon! Sometimes I think that the universe is testing me like Job to see how much it takes for me to break. So today I mentally told the universe “You will not…

  • Someone said to me the other day that I am very self-aware. I felt quite pleased with this assessment and generally consider this to be true about myself. There is nothing like a little reality check now and then to remind me that there is always room to improve! 😛 Change is the only constant in this world – so the saying goes. Or, we can always count on change. Phrases like this…

  • I have recently joined a group called Moms/She Run(s) This Town, which is a running group that has chapters all over the States and world. 😀 Although I am not particularly a runner, nor do I plan to join any races any time soon, it has been quite fun to meet some ladies who like exercise from fast walking to running. It all started when I decided to go to the free Yas Mall…

  • When money is tight it is difficult to justify getting pampering done or splurging on a cup of coffee at a cafe – two of my favorite things to do, by the way.  These were activities I took a bit for granted as part of my regular routine of life when I was working full-time with a steady stream of income. While some women might not be willing to sacrifice this first-world luxury,…

  • Sometimes a bit of a break away from the to-do list and self-imposed pressures to write or meet deadlines is needed. This weekend ended up being that, though not planned as such. It was a nice weekend and for the first time felt somewhat ‘normal’. We hung out with friends. I ‘worked’ with a few lessons and yoga sessions. We went out on our own and relaxed. Sleeping in did not quite happen…

  • For the most part the days of the week have quickly become a blur. I generally am not eager for the weekend any more than any other day except it’s the days my hubby is home. Being a self-employed business owner means that days off are whenever I want to take them. 😛 Yet, somehow this week was extremely busy. Doing what? Well, that’s the thing…. so yesterday I posted about my general…

  • So my post the other day on working vs not working also brought up some ponderings on my regular visits on the topic of schedules, discipline and structures. My tendencies for ups and downs are really being challenged lately as I find myself lacking consistent structure. I still keep a schedule. I still am planned day-to-day or even weeks ahead, but I am required to be a bit more flexible and am finding…
