TWWs
This week started off well with the gym workouts but doing more yoga teaching made me a bit tired toward the end of the week. Need to perhaps focus on the cardio aspect or just remind myself it is only for 30 minutes – which is not difficult to find the time…. Anyway, it is…

200hr Yoga Weekend 1 Complete
Before this weekend came I was not sure about continuing with it as it costs money and time, both of which right now are very precious to us as I have to cancel lessons to do the weekend, which sets us back a bit in terms of our money for the week. 😕 However, after…

TWWs
This week definitely went better as far as getting to the gym goes. I tried to get in a bit more weights, abs, etc since the first weekend of yoga training finished off the week. There was some progress in the running/walking, but a little bit of the same for weights, etc. Still, progress is…

300 Hours Complete!
Just over a year of serious yoga study from practice to philosophy has come to an end. It is only the first chapter of my yoga story, but very significant. When I was feeling miserable doing my job and wondering at the future of my career in TESOL, I received an email about becoming a…

_Yoga Therapy: A Guide to the Therapeutic Use of Yoga and Ayurveda for Health and Fitness_ by A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan
_Yoga Therapy: A Guide to the Therapeutic Use of Yoga and Ayurveda for Health and Fitness_ by A.G.

_Vayu’s Gate_ by Orit Sen-Gupta
_Vayu’s Gate_ by Orit Sen-Gupta One of my yoga teacher training required books. I read it on my Kindle app which might have taken away a bit from fully enjoying what this book had to offer. Sen-Gupta walks the reader through the vayus, pranayama and how they work together within various poses. It was actually…

Weekend in Dubai
I was away from my computer and Abu Dhabi this weekend, so I could not really post. It was a nice 24-hr break away from the crazy realities of life these days. When we were in Bali everyone was keen to organize a monthly get-together when we were all back in the UAE to keep…

_Hatha Yoga Pradipika_ by Swami Muktibodhananda
_Hatha Yoga Pradipika_ by Swami Muktibodhananda Another one of our required reading texts for my yoga teacher training course was this rather thick text. Most of my yogi-mates have avoided reading these more historical/ancient books, but the nerdy literature academic in me loves these readings the most. 😛 As per my usual routine of breaking…

Drafting: Yoga Fitness vs Yoga Therapy
I am mulling around an idea for a post on my business blog and thought I would draft it here to see how it reads. Plus, I can add my editorial comments here before making it more neutrally professional. 😛 Obviously, with the launch of my business website – The OSH Network – I am…
