Living, loving, laughing... ;)

London is a beautiful city. It's vibrant with people from every corner of the world, just living, working, maybe escaping something. This city has its own rhythm, a steady of beat of buses, cars and people passing by in a hurry. The history of this city mixed in with the new age, makes it a great place for dreamers like myself and it is also perfectly fine for those who are more conservative.

This city is lovely and energetic but follows a steady pace of life. It's nice but I don't think I would like to live here. The weather is too unforgiving and people need to breath some life into their daily routines. You're going up the escalator at the tube station and everyone looks absolutely miserable. Even if I smile at someone, instead of smiling back, they react with shock and what almost seems to be fear.

Every city has its own energy and although London and I are vibing quite well, it's definitely a short term thing. I am very much looking forward to seeing some friends while I am here. It's definitely a wonderful opportunity to catch up with some amazing people and to relax in a city that has a lot of culture and character. And the rainy days can be quite inspiring.

I have also returned to running again after more than half a year of not running at all. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I went for my first run yesterday. It was so great and invigorating. I'm also keeping up with my daily yoga so what can I say besides, life is good! :)

The Naked Truth

I truly believe that there is a reason for everything. There is a reason why your eyes drift to an object or a person on a certain day, or why sometimes the simplest thought triggers a wave of emotions and feelings about things that were seemingly not a part of your life anymore, that were left in the past already. Our mind and body, if in sync, has an incredible system in place to send us signals and messages to warn about a possible danger, to warn us about a person who may not have our best interest in mind, or to simply lead us towards the path which is best for us. I am using the word “simply” very freely here because choosing our path, the correct one for us, is anything but simple. And unless we are incredibly in tune with our instinct and most of us have relinquished that power due to modern day comforts and such, then we go on ignoring those gut feelings, that inner voice because they don’t go along with the plan that we have for ourselves. Well, there we have i...

Day one of Ashtanga Yoga Mysore teacher training course.

Image
I had these ideas of where I was in terms of my yoga practice understanding, the spirituality of it, my flexibility and many other elements that are involved in the practice of yoga, but all of that knowledge was shaken up today. There is so much that I need to learn and understand about this practice which has existed for thousands of years. All the knowledge that I thought I had needs to be put aside and I need to be like a child. Learning from zero, taking everything in, understanding, believing, and finally, putting it all to practice. The view facing the mountains.Studio on the left. This morning's two hour Ashtanga Vinyasa practice was the hardest and most difficult session of yoga I have ever done, both physically and mentally. There is so much I still need to learn and practice, practice, practice. My body was shaking and so was my mind. As difficult as it was, after those two hours with Praveen, our instructor, I felt better than I...

Goodmorning Bangkok!

Image
So here I am, back in the city where my Asian odyssey began. Good old Bangkok! I didn't get to explore it much the first time around because of the sensory overload my first day in Asia. I ran away from this city screaming for air, fresh air that is and more space with less people. But now, since I've been around the block a little, the Asia block that is, I feel ready to take on this beast. So I am giving it a proper chance this time. I have four and a half days to run around Bangkok and see why this city is all about. The journey from Koh Pangan took a total of 19 long hours. One boat and two bus rides later, I pulled up next to Kao San Road a little after 7am surprisingly rested and ready to take on the city. I got myself and a nice tuktuk driver who ripped me off only a little bit and went for a fresh air ride through the city to my destination; the Siam Journey guesthouse. A lovely little place right in the center of the city and near the airport link metro line. Perf...
