"yoga provokes in us a deep transformation"












When I was little my parents took me to a couple of yoga lessons, I still remember them but it was only until few months ago that I connected the images to the practice.

A couple of years ago a friend of mine invited me to practice yoga with her, after a couple sessions she beautifully draw me the sequence of the sun salutation and I was on my on to keep the practice. When I felt it was not enough I went on a search for "my" type of yoga. 
There are so many styles and teachers and from the very beginning I felt that finding the yoga style that  was fit for me was like finding "my" GP or therapist...It is, at least for me, a very personal choice.
I feel that it had to be someone I trusted and in a style that suited my body and my rhythm. In my search I ended up finding great teachers that thought me a lot and got acquainted  with several yoga styles or methods.
One of those, and the one that inspired me to deepen my practice was Sivananda hata yoga. I had a wonderful and inspiring teacher and trough her classes I became more and more engaged with yoga both physically and spiritually.
Yoga had already been part of my life for five or so years but after I started Sivananda I feel that my practice progressed and I allowed my self to go to the next level. 
Yoga is something that inspires me everyday either it being in my own practice or the practice with my students. 
Yoga changed my life and continues to do it. It inspires me to be a better person and to share what I have learned with others.

A very well known and successful advertiser once said that there are no right or wrong decisions; the decision one makes (or is it takes?), at a determined time and place, is the wright one just by the fact that it was the one that was chosen. It makes no sense and it doesn't serve anybody any good to wonder about what if. Like they say "it's not worth to cry over spilled milk".
That can also be translated as living the here and now, in the present. Which if we really think about it doesn't even exist. Once you try to catch it it is gone. Maybe that is why it is so essential that we live it to the fullest, here an
d now. It only lasts within the time and space where/when you are fully aware of it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the best is to live/enjoy/cease/grasp fully every minute, every millisecond of your life because before you notice it the moment is gone. And this goes for good and bad ones which many times is a comfort and other times a torment. And that is what makes it worth it, how it all balances itself in the end of the day.
The reason for all my blabbing about this is because I was wondering to myself if it would make any sense for me to publish in this blog my gastronomic attempts...and I have made the decision to also talk about it here, therefore this is the right choice!
Besides if I have made up my mind to enjoy and embrace whatever life gives me and what I bring onto it why not post my gastronomic attempts?
Since I've been back I have been missing, amongst other things the food, so I have been following some Indian recipes online and I must say that the result was not bad at all.
Today I tried Coconut chutney and Paneer Parata
