Wonderful time, beautiful place, generous people.
An education, eye-opener, game changer
and practice... good, common sense, balanced, integrated yoga practice...

Looks great; like it was worth every Euro, or is it Drachmae again these days?
This looks just perfect! Am very much looking forward to the posts. Love the last picture of Manju, just love it. I think the next study trip I do shall be with him. Have loved everything I'd heard (rather read) from him so far, and your preliminary response has confirmed this feeling. x
Love all the photos. Manju's photo IS quite wonderful. I'm thinking confluence again next year because he will be one of the teachers (and San Diego is lovely, but not as lovely as Crete). Ready for your workshop notes!
Beautiful captures. Cant wait to hear about it.
Welcome home. I'm sitting in the garden watching for bats and feeling a bit pulled apart by my practice at the moment. I did a full primary yesterday and a slower more VK type practice today. My regular crazy flow class to go to tomorrow and I'm wondering if my body is saying no. Then I see you're back and have posted and my heart skips a beat in anticipation of more encouraging snippets of wisdom. Holiday snaps lovely, looking forward to your thoughts.
Love the image of the shala through the window (12th photo from the top). Sacred space :) Can't wait to hear all about it!
Yep worth selling the sax and still the euro....for now
: )
Look out for the coming Q and A post
Of course he's doing Confluence, bali too i believe. But he also seems to get around quite a bit in the US. You should consider the TT, not so much because it's a TT but rather for the insight looking closely at adjustments gives to your own home practice.
Think my body was saying No or at least 'perhaps not' since i got back, not sure I realised how intense the course was, pulling out a full on practice every morning and then the giving and receiving of all those adjustments for a few hours. Took it easy since i came back , half primary but perhaps back to full this morning. Still not fully fit since being ill and I think that showed up in the amount I was sweating on the course but coming back one practice at a time.
Was hoping M. would take one of those when she walked by while we were practicing but she said it was too dark.
