"The only way out is in" by Anthony Prem Carfisi Life is not a question, it is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery into which one dissolves oneself! And on love: Love is the radiance, the fragnance of knowing oneself, of being one self. Love is overflowing joy. Love is when you have seen who you are: then there is nothing left except to share your being with others. Love is when you ahve seen that you are not seperate from existence. Love is no...

4.6.2008 Everything changes This was the opening line of Swami's new class yesterday. At the time I wasn't aware how significant it was to be later on.

29.5.2008 Always a surprise with John This teacher training is turning out to be so much more than just learning to teach yoga. Especially when seeing john so inspired, so playful, so joyful and philosophical. He is becoming the Shakespeare of yoga. Often we have no idea what he's doing with us in the self practise class until later on he explains his logic behind it. Our homework the other night was to make a list of the areas we wanted to work on in our pract...
