”An instrument is like a human being. We go out of tune all the time. If we are out of tune we dont feel very well” - Mata Mandir Singh
I love the forest
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

With love to all my sporty friends. Watch if you have a hard time getting out or save for days you need inspiration.
My new book is in the making
Spring is totally refreshing for body and soul. It’s so green it takes my breath away, and the air is filled with Prana – wital life force. I am working on my second book and it´s pure joy. Every month is a new chapter, a new yoga set, a new meditation, a new yogic recipe and above all – A lovely Guest. I just did april with Susanna.

Shiva Plays Double
Got 5 minutes? Here is an old story that I would like to share with you…… It is from the book A Flowering Three and Other Oral Tales from India by A K Ramanujan.
A saukar (rich man) was very vain. Riches go to rich people’s heads. He even thought that he was equal to Lord Siva. So he had the town crier announce through the village that he should be worshiped in all the temples instead of Siva and that special songs of praise should be sung about him. His servants beat up anyone who disobeyed his orders. He was a terror. The terrified townsmen stopped worshiping Siva. They gave up wearing holy ash on their brows. They repeated the saukar‘s name as if it were Siva’s and told prayer beads. Read the rest of this entry »
Saraswati Puja
It’s the time of Saraswati Puja in India right and my friends in India celebrate the Devi (Goddess) of music and learning.
january is done
January of 2011 is in the books. Started up with two solid weeks of yoga and training at Las Playitas, Fuerteventura. Back home it’s been much of the same. Teaching yoga, living loving and doing things that keep me alive. Swim, bike, run, food, sleep, meditate and repeat. That´s about it really. Right now I pretty much just go with the flow. Life is so much sweeter when you appreciate the moment you are in so much that yesterday and tomorrow aren’t even tempting you to think on them. I do have a goal at the horizon for 2011. On May 14 the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Mallorca will take place and I will participate. Just a little race to keep me moving. Alright, that´s all I have to report on. Oh believe me I am beyond excited. Way beyond….

Yogi fight
Yogin is a short animation telling the story of a young yogi challenging an old master to a yoga battle. The egotistical challenger thinks he has what is necessary to take on the master however he fails to realize there is more to yoga then physical postures.
dawn of 2011
My family is still a sleep. It’s dawn and time to run. I love my moments of solitude. Ice and wind is not going to stop me. Hello 1/1/11 here we go! A new chapter in life begins. Take a moment. Inhale. Exhale. Lets treat each other and each moment with respect.
Love
