Yippee, on the fourth day of my fast – it looks like I may just be able to do all seven days after all.  Kwang began his fast today and he’s done really well.  It’s been really nice taking all the herbs and shakes together.  We did our practice around 1pm today which was really [...]

So last night I felt quite ill while at the restaurant so I came back to the room before Kwang finished his dinner. When he returned to the room, having eaten his salad for dinner, he asked me if I was ok. I told him I just didn’t feel very well – so [...]

Well, made it through two days of fasting – go me!  Actually today was much easier than yesterday (but the result differ from person to person b/c I have been told by several different people that day 2 or 3 or 4 would be the worst…And so far I disagree). 
 
            I can’t say I [...]

            So I officially started my fast today!  I have been pre-fasting for a few days, and hard core since we arrived at the Sanctuary – which means that I went to bed last night starving!  I woke up a few times throughout the night having dreamt about food…It was really quite strange, and I [...]

I’m sitting in our room at the Sanctuary waiting to get my ‘PH test’ to see if I can begin my fast tomorrow. If my Ph levels are low enough I will begin my seven day fast in the morning…I am actually looking forward to the fast, I think it will be a great test [...]

It’s about 9:20pm Thailand time and Kwang and I just got back to Centered Yoga.  We rented a scooter from Centered Yoga so we could go to Tesco (the Thai version of Wal-Mart) so we could get some shampoo etc…And Kwang really wanted to be in A/C for a while…We even ate dinner at a [...]

I am burnt to a crisp – but only on certain parts of my body!  Yeah, that is one of the many major accomplishments of this beautiful Saturday in Koh Samui!  The Advanced training session ended last night and many people left this morning…We had a nice pranayama session till 9am followed by the infamous [...]

The two week workshop with professor Rao here at Centered Yoga is coming to a close soon!  I can’t believe it is already Wednesday of the second week…I am really enjoying the classes on the Sutras and the Gita…Both texts are quite a mystery to me, even though I have read them both twice – [...]

            Kwang and I had a very interesting trip to town this evening!  As poor Kwang was going absolutely stir crazy cooped up in the bungalow all day he desperately wanted to ‘get the hell outta Centered Yoga’ for a bit.  I know what you are thinking – he is in paradise and he’s complaining…But [...]

Another great day in the best place on earth!
 
            Today totally rocked!  As it is Saturday we got to rest from asana practice (yoga), but we did meet at 7:30am for our daily pranayama practice (for those friends of mine who are thinking ?%#&*)%*#&@(? – that is a form of breathing and a very important [...]
