Apparently people actually like zoom yoga classes – really? I SO miss the in-person contact yoga classes where the vibe is real, not virtual. Where connections can take place before and after classes, connections are made and friendships are formed … BUT when we value each others’ health and wellness, this is the way … or find outdoor blue sky yoga OR …

Yoga from Tokyo – It’s borderless!
Very helpful ofcourse to know the time difference. This is
very helpful so you don’t miss the workshop.
Looking forward to Akira Watamoto’s Live with Pranada – this event would have been impossible for me to have attended even if I were in Japan due to the schedule dedicated to serving my family SO … very excited that finally I get to visit his “studio” – a virtual one at that:)
Yogi Akira Watamoto, I once had the honor of translating his interview from Japanese to English, right after the 3/11 disaster. He’s been teaching for over 20 years in Tokyo and is known to have brought the concept of “Power Yoga” to Japan to restore the tarnished image of yoga back in the day.
If there is any kind of silver lining to the current distressful state of affairs, could it be that we are willing to explore new ways to reach and teach? Still a total newbie to this virtual world … I am blindly exploring.
“Silence is Violence” “We can rise above Hate” “we can do better”… messages of … hope
I was surprised and thrilled to see these post-it messages pasted on a telephone pole … in a very white neighborhood. On the street there was a BIG chalk writing that said “WE CAN BE BETTER”. This is a neighborhood where even Asians were prohibited from living couple of decades ago and I rarely shades of browns and blacks … I suspect adults have thoughts of factors that lowers the property values shading their thoughts of righteousness … it’s ingrained; it’s systematic … SHAME Shame shame
Still it’s amazing that it’s out in the open and in thoughts of all rather than sweeping things under the rug and pretending all is well. Because. It’s not.
There’s hope.
These post-its carry that … hope.
