I just did my first yoga in months with Y.D. Twenty-four hours later I'm starting to feel all the workout.
But last night after completion of the Ashtanga routine it was like a colonic, wheat grass, sauna and scalp massage, all in one, with a makeover and a truffle on my pillow. I'm ready to face the Winter again.

about me
I am currently living in SF, studying and teaching ashtanga yoga. my website is www.omstyleyoga.com. I like to travel, go to the beach, write, keep it simple, work on my website, and eat good vegetarian food. I tend to stay very active, riding my bike, hiking, walking around the city, practicing my yoga every morning and so forth. I was pretty much born and raised in the Bay Area, my family moved here when I was 2. I was introduced to Eastern mysticism and philosophy when my mama took me to see Sri Swami Satchidananda at the age of 16. I love love.

Tails of a yogi in love with yoga and Mysore, well most of the time.
Now I am back in the SF Bay Area for a little over a month, and I am glancing back at a journal entries from one of my last days in Mysore, early August 2008. It is very telling of the love and dearness I feel for this special magical place, so I thought I would share it with you, dear reader, nearly in its entirety. Here you go:
So a couple weeks ago in...

OK, I know it's been far too long since I've posted to my blog, so here's a little something to entertain you, all my status updates from facebook. Maybe I'll write a "regular" blog entry with full descriptive paragraphs and such soon, I don't know, let's see how it goes. Aside from all the yoga and chanting classes, which really is keeping me quite busy, I am enjoying being lazy, or as my new friend Alyson says, letting go. It's fine, really, you should try it sometime :) So this is what...

Dear friends,
I know it's been some time since I've updated my blog, and I thank all of you for asking whassup. I was kinda wondering if anyone even reads blogs anymore, but since enough of you asked, it helped motivate me to write some more. So I will try to give you the lowdown of my life these past few months in India. And let me just say, this is a mondo long blog entry, so grab a cup of chai, or whatever, and let me regale you with tales of India.
About a month an...

Dear friends,
As it turns out, I am still in Goa, some 6 weeks later. I have actually been here this whole time, since leaving "The States" on 14 February, except for a five day jaunt to Gokarna for the big Shivaratri festival at the beginning of March. It was surely not my original plan to stay in Goa this long, as I had only intended to be here through the end of March, and maybe not even that long. But when one is in India, you really just never know what is going to happen, so I fin...

Dear Friends,
It is now just over two weeks that I have been in India. It has been a hell of a whirlwind thus far, really I would not have expected it to be any other way, this is just the nature of India. The ten hour layover in the Bombay airport was excruciating, this after already more than 24 hours of travel. I spent much of that time lingering at the Cafe Coffee Day with the 300 rupee buffet, all you can drink cappucinos included, but "no laying down on the couch please", says the...
