And it all falls into place
Wow it's been an incredible, ground shifting, confusing, chaotic yet rich and rewarding six months for me. I left UK in August 2018, leaving 16 years of life in that country and all my dearest friends and all my wonderful customers behind. I traveled in Asia for five...
Acceptance
My Birthday in Can Tho, Vietnam The biggest challenge of my trip over the past months has been learning to let go of my past as an identity and the future as an illusion of control. Each "home" I've settled in, even if they've been a home for just a short while, have...

The only consistent thing in life is change
The smell of Finnish pine forest.The silence and the slower pace of moving from A to B. Sauna. There is generally a day or two that I feel like a tourist in my home country, until some senses get reawakened from the deep sleep. Then I feel like I've just...
The Lotus Pose
One of the things I learned in India, was how incredibly useful it is to sit cross-legged. Everything over there is geared up for sitting in this position. I don't remember seeing many chairs anywhere. All the restaurants I ate in had floor cushions and low tables, as...
Why I chose to teach Yoga
This is me doing a Yoga on a beach in India, and those are my friends who I met there. Only a few months ago I was almost immobile due to chronic back pain, sciatica and nerve damage to my left side. I tried all sorts of treatments. I did everything I could think of,...
My Strength did not Come from Lifting Weights
