“It’s the BEST time to be alive!”

– Stephen Curry

Quoting what was said by Curry during a fascinating talk at Silk Speaker Series hosted by USF Institute for Nonviolence & Social Justice. At the talk with Dr. Clarence B. Jones (former MLK’s lawyer and speachwriter – think he said 80 years young?), Curry gave us a whole another perspective during this CoVid time. For most of us, this time has been about fear and anxieties but does it have to be? We talk about silver linings but beyond the cliches, what’s going on? It’s a time of tremendous suffering for many but why then … is it the best time to be alive? I have been thinking about this and will share my thoughts on this after a deep deep cleaning of not just the surfaces but insides of my mind.

Not just for me, I think there’s a great SHIFT taking place for all of us.

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 …

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.
