Take time to understand who you are.
Introspect on what drives you, what your values are.

Every morning start the day by looking inside your heart, quietening the mind and breathing into the center of your being.
Meditation is a tool like no other in having self awareness, living a life of directed purpose and controlling the mind. Just start somewhere😀

Why do you practice yoga?
This question can be linked to other questions.
What is your purpose on this planet and how do you view your life in relationship to others?

If you practice yoga for a yoga b***y or abs then that’s like eating ice cream for the cake cone.
Our bodies become strong and healthy thanks to yoga but the higher purpose of asana is to sit in ‘dhyana’ and meditation.

Do you like the overall look and vibe of yoga which lets you where Lululemon(a company that doesn’t care about real yoga and profits off of your faith), mala beads (that you never use for actual ‘japa’) or the superficial connect to an exotic culture so you can wear a bindi and sometimes throw in a few garbled Sanskrit words that makes you appear intellectual and cultured? But deep down you harbor racist thoughts about others and treat others with rudeness and hostility.
Again a very superficial way of living and understanding yoga.

When you practice yoga, live yoga, you connect to your own divine nature. It gives you greater self awareness and with that more self love. In connecting and knowing ourselves yoga shines a light on interconnectedness with all of humanity.

Do you practice yoga to enjoy the health and mental benefits for yourself, but disregard the well being of others? This again is not truly living a yogic life.
As we celebrated International day of yoga yesterday, I ask you to introspect on how you live your life, how you practice yoga.
As our world is thrown into chaos and perpetual turmoil with wars and genocide, please enquire if your yoga has given you greater compassion for those who are suffering, starving and alone.
If you are practicing real yoga, it will break your heart open with true kindness towards their lived experiences and not just your own.

So as someone who strives every day to learn from yoga, who teaches with a deep understanding of its roots and spirituality,
I wish and hope that yoga will create a consciousness which gives every practitioner the purity of heart and soul to treat our brothers and sisters around the globe with the same respect and kindness that we want for ourselves and our loved ones.
🙏🏽

A Metta for a World on Fire

May all beings be safe—
even those who drop bombs,
even those who sign death warrants from polished desks.
May they awaken from delusion,
before the weight of their karma sinks them into the hells they are creating on Earth.

May the children of Gaza,
starving under siege,
buried under rubble,
or trembling in makeshift hospitals—
know that they are not forgotten.

May those who kill with drones and justify it with lawbooks
see clearly the karmic chains they forge—
for no doctrine, no border, no god
can cleanse the blood from hands that refuse to tremble.

May the architects of war,
the politicians who trade lives for votes,
the media that distort truth to protect the powerful—
be pierced by the unbearable truth
of the suffering they permit and profit from.

And still—
may they, too, know healing.
Because only through healing can they cease to harm.
May the seeds of compassion within even the cruelest hearts
crack open under the pressure of the world’s anguish.

May we, the witnesses,
not look away.
May we not be lulled by comfort or silenced by fear.
May we grieve fully, act bravely, and love defiantly.

For every being starving, displaced, imprisoned, or erased:
we send you our fierce compassion,
our solidarity,
our vow to remember you—
and to resist.

This Metta is not passive.
It is fire.
It is water.
It is the breath between sobs.
It is the weaponless sword of truth.

May all beings be free.
May all oppressors be unseated.
May all wounds be healed.
May all delusions be seen for what they are.
And may we never stop walking the path of courage, even with broken feet.

A little prose I scribbled on my napkin the last time I was in San Francisco and stumbled into the best Irish coffee pub in town.

Listen to the moral beating of your heart.
Be guided by the inner wisdom and compassion.
You know what is right and wrong.
Try not to alienate others or divide
While on this journey.
There are always points of connection to be felt.
And then from this healing guidance find those pure actions, noble in their intention
And manifest your destiny and
Create a better world, day by day.

This is what I believe yoga has taught me.
Happy Tuesday friends!

Om Namah Shivaya!!
🙏🏽
Har Har Mahadev
💫

May we all destroy the ego within us
Like the dancing anger and ‘Raudra’ of Shiva’s
Natraj!

Allow anger to destroy our inner impurities.
Burn Away
All we know longer need.

Enjoying the burn💪🏽

‘Tapas’ is one of Maharishi Patanjali’s Niyamas based on the eight limbs of yoga, ‘ashtanga yoga’.
Working on my own discipline and perseverance.
Using my mental focus and determination in my strength training.
I could never have thought yoga would help me in lifting weights. But they go together likes peas and carrots🫶🏽
Interesting that strength training is also called resistance training while Tapas is all about resilience 🔥

As I inch closer to another Birthday, I’m working on my hormonal balance, bone density, cardiovascular heath, metabolism and above all mental health.

The Tapas, the burn is real. But it’s worth it, because I’m worth it! 🫶🏽🙂
