"Step into your light and shine your heart in the most authentic way possible"

My last posting was prior to departing India and I apologise for leaving you hanging but needless to say we made it back to Canada safe, sound and exhausted. Our last 2 days were spent in Goa which is India's smallest state. It is also a rather interesting state, having only gained independence from Portugal in 1961, the overhangs of colonialism are more apparant than in other parts of India, furthermore, the majority of India's Christian population resides in Goa. Goa overlooks the Arabian Sea and at the time we were there the temperatures were reaching approx 48 degrees celsius. At this point we were somewhat used to the heat so the best part about our time there was the fact that our hotel had a pool.....finally a chance to relax and indulge a little.......or not.....turns out our stomachs shrank from living at the ashram and even worse our taste buds were a little sensitive due to the yogi diet! Arriving at the Goa Marriot Resort and Spa left me feeling somewhat guilty after my time at the ashram. How could there be this much food and no work to do ?

8 Angle Pose - I am slowly getting there.
Completing this pose is one of my goals for the year.

Come and meet me on the mat.......and remember happiness cannot be owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with
