Front Lines – Yoga for the Skin
Front Lines – Yoga for the Skin Deepa wanted to clear up her skin. She was tired of the flare ups, the expensive lotions and potions that never quite covered the spots or stopped them from showing up in the first place. She wanted to explore natural remedies. Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It is your perimeter, regulating temperature, allowing interaction with the environment through the sensation of touch. Your skin is porous, whatever you put on your skin eventually makes its way into your body. Your skin is a mirror of what is happening inside your body.... [Read more of this review]
Inner and Outer Vision
The human body is a sensory process. Each of our sense organs takes in information that we imbue with meaning. For the month of May, get ready for a unique experience as we explore the function of each organ (think grade 9 biology refresher) and a kriya to create awareness and healing for that organ.

Your Focus Becomes Your Life
The way we use our body, mind and emotions creates our reality, even if that reality is untrue or incomplete. If we think a thought enough times it starts to feel like the real thing. In yoga, a visual focal point is called a drishti. Focusing the eyes on a specific spot steadies the body, keeps the mind alert and directs energy. A drishti can be used during a physical practice or during meditation. Each focal point creates a different effect. Brow Point — stimulates the pituitary gland, strengthening intuition.

Work As Spiritual Practice
I’m writing this blog on Wednesday morning on the train ride to work. It’s hump day. I am wondering how to inspire myself to have a day that matters at my desk. I google work as spiritual practice and come across this story: A goddess decides to host a series of dinner parties. For the first party she invites all the demons of the land, laying out a beautiful feast with one condition – eat as much as you like but you must not bend your elbows. The demons make a huge mess of the place, spilling food on themselves and each other and leave the party hungry and disgruntled... [Read more of this review]
