International Yoga of Day

Tomorrow !
At Marina Green from 9:30am – 2pm – Yoga * Meditation * Kirtan with Jai Uttal:)

I cannot go but since the location is the same, sharing some sights from an event that took place at the same place only a month ago – these are photos from Wanderlust SF last month With MC Yogi leading … it’s weird that you can totally follow him each breath per movement at a time. He is so good about always elevating Amanda … by talking up up about her:) Hope they stay strong … Here’s their coverage in the Global Glue Project video I contributed (via KickStart) towards since my wonderful yoga teacher and photographer, Brenna Geehan is the videographer. The Project is a series of documentary clips on many couples, to explore their enduring relationships…those with staying power in this world of impermanence:
Click Here. All the couples featured are beautiful examples of enduring connections … that weathered the storm. There’s a Japanese couple who has been together for almost 50 years… it’s so very cute; no kiss in public of course – I love you is by just having coffee – it’s unspoken.

Marina Green in San Francisco – where International Yoga Day event will take place tomorrow –
Was there maybe a month ago for another yoga event called the “Mindful Triathlon” of yoga, meditation and a run – the “tri” – Wanderlust SF I volunteered at – just helping out at their Wanderlust store … and got to stay for Yoga on the green … it was nice under the blue sky as the morning fog had lifted:) as I am sure tomorrow’s event is sure to be. Jai Uttal is performing … Kirtan so we can all sing together:)

Stones have meanings and mala beads you can make with that in mind … hand made is best so you can custom make them based on one’s dosha, season or the mood.

BTW – Here’s the card I drew, when we were on the topic of the third eye, or the 6th chakra …with my lovely Reiki teacher/friend, whose name means “Joy” or “Happy”:) No wonder she’s a kindred spirit.

Do not limit yourself? We create our own limits to protect ourselves from hurt … call it the survival skill … tempered with wisdom, finding that limitless place that’s still safe … that’s my yoga practice.

The Artist is PRESENT…it’s … REAL SO real.

In yoga-speak, we often hear instructors say to the students, “Be Present”. There’s even a yoga-wear brand named that – so…
What does it really mean?

Captured with this music:

vs. this music … music can change the mood while the essence remains.


Her reaching her hands out – was that about “forgiveness” and “acceptance”?
An applause over their reunion … for a moment in time; they are 100% present.
How often can we stay THIS present? With others, with ourselves.

Sixth sense at work …& play:)

You know how you feel somebody looking at you, and you turn,
and somebody actually is?
It’s the same at an art gallery. You’re looking at one portrait,
turn around, and there is a work of art directly behind you.
Because it’s all energy.
Every single thing has energy.

– Marina Abramovic

Yes, every single thing has energy and … it’s called 6th sense at work … when you feel it.

Picasso, Chagall & Rousseau paintings from MoMa… I can stare at them all day … BUT one must go get things done. Off to energy sucking mine-fields that’s SO draining at times … knowing the techniques to recharge and replenish the energy that’s about to fade out … is done through the practice of …
