Pushkar. The Soul Journey and More

The holy city of Pushkar has cast a spell on me and left me wanting more. That place has a special kind of energy that grabs you and doesn't let go. It's a spell or just some good old place for the soul. So here's a short video I made on my last morning in Pushkar.

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.

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.

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.

Goodmorning Bangkok!

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...
