If you want to feel your best, you have to eat the best.

My first day at Kripalu Center of yoga and health was nice. It’s a nice facility and has a lot to offer (healthy organic food, yoga classes, hiking, lake, workshop, sauna…etc); anyone who are interested in health and well being I suggest you should have it a try. I Yesterday I talked to a lady in the sauna’s room, just have a chat to find out what is she doing here? She said that she lives not so far from Kripalu and she works here as a volunteer. She shared by doing that she get to have free meal, yoga classes and also using anything for free. Wow!! wonderful

I work up early today and follow today schedule. The reason I decided to put myself into classes because I want to have a taste of the teaching from different teachers, so I can adapt and add any useful information to my own teaching.

At 6:30am I took what it’s called a moderate yoga class. I loved the teacher’s voice and her sweet energy that vibrant into the class. Poses that she put together for the class are interesting and they have a sweet quality. However, her teaching is very little in body alignment. I think it is important.
Ay 9:00am I took “partner yoga” class from Evelyn Gonzalez. This class I really love. Evelyn is beautiful, fun, and friendly. She has a great energy, and make the class feel so much to me like friends just come together to do yoga. Poses are simple (we also get to be silly too), but doing it with partner it just give me a great joy. The experience is so different. We have to be sensitive to one another; we have to breathe each other breath, you have to feed each other energy (some poses we moved while our eyes close) so we can moved together as one.
At 2:00pm I took “Introduction to Pranayama” class, learning how to breathe. Even though I know how important the breath is, but to have someone who take this subject very seriously and talk me through again it’s always an awesome reminder. A great information from him is when doing Ujiyi breath have the tongue relax to the bottom teeth, don’t let the tongue touch the back of the upper teeth since the action tight up the throat’s muscles.
It’s about 6:45pm right now. I’m getting ready for my workshop with Dasiree Rumbaugh. This is it!! This is the reason why I drove five hours from Buffalo, NY. I am dedicated it now and I am not going to stop. I will drive to become a greater and better yoga teacher.

I personally would like to give Michael Moore a credit for deciding to create the film “Sicko”. You bet it isn’t an easy journey. This part of the film confirmed that in America healthy care industry, it isn’t about their nation (yet); it is only about its profit.

Friends, I whole hearty hope that you will step up and take great care of your own health. This is you life!!, and you have all the power you need within yourself to stay healthy…..

Be careful with choices you make when it comes down to your own health…
