Music
Day 21: What song are you most grateful for? This is one of my favorite songs and whenever I hear it I end up putting it on repeat. The tune is beautiful to me and the lyrics are poetically sweet. Oftentimes I find that songs in other languages touch my soul more than those in…

Letting Go…

Diminishing Elite?
Yesterday I wrote on the idea of saturation within yoga. After I wrote, I began to consider this more and recalled how I have often felt annoyed towards those who simply went for a two-month TEFL certification to be ‘qualified’ to teach English as a foreign language – something that I spent two years studying…

Yoga = Union
Why I have not written about such a big part of my life sooner, I am not sure; but it is appropriate for me to now write a bit about yoga. Yoga has become massively popular recently and is growing in its trend around the world. While I sense that it may become saturated like…
