Namaste everyone, I have very exciting news to share. I've just uploaded to the classroom a new course called, 'The Essential Pranayama Initiation'. I'm confident that this course is one of the best Pranayama courses anywhere on earth. How can I say that without being arrogant? Well, it's because in this course, together, we will go through the Pranayama section of the illustrious Yoga guide Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha by Swami Satyananda Saraswati ji (reverent salutations and pranams). It is comprehensive and is essential for beginners. Even experienced practitioners I'm sure will appreciate the genius of it. Learning these Pranayamas is an amazing opportunity in ones life; no matter how it comes across your path. Let's do it and I am here to serve and support in whatever way I can on your own intensely individual journey of self discovery through this most excellent system of Yoga. With full love, Shiv P.s. There is a $50 charge for the course. HOWEVER, if the money is an issue right now but you are committed to Yoga and want to do this course PLEASE ASK AND IT WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. This is more important than anything for me; nothing should stand in the way of this divine knowledge.. if you want it.

The other day, I shared the song by the amazing Nooran sisters 'Vanjhali' https://open.spotify.com/track/5zMXuQLFhWkpXUUPtm6wuH?si=420d07a574d1427f It's based on the tragic love story between Heer and Ranjha, a bit like Indias Romeo and Juliet. Two star crossed lovers who end up dead together 💔 Then the next quote posted was from legendary Yogi Gorakhnath. What I didn't know at the time, was that in the story of Heer Ranjha, when Heer is forced to marry someone else and Ranjha leaves heartbroken, he actually bumped into Yogi Gorakhnath and himself become a yogi and his devotee! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heer_Ranjha It's a small world 😂

Currently diving into the understanding that building strength and toning is important in the support of the injury induced hyper flexible in my neck and shoulder. Perfect match for the last lesson!

Namaste beloved friends! Just a little update of things that are happening. I was recently in Mallorca for an event called Body Mind and Soul. It was a wonderful event and I was fortunate enough to give a short talk and demonstration of Pranayama, which went well. We are all ridiculously lucky to have an attraction, no matter the size, to the yogic system. It is a way of total wellness; taking care of the physical, all the way to the highest and unspeakable realisations within consciousness. I also got the chance to interview the brilliant Nipun Mehta, give it a watch if you have time and let me know what you think! If you would like to be part of the 'heart pin love movement' that we talk about in the video, let me know and I'll send you one! And inspired by that conversation, today is my Day 1 of the 21 Day Kindness Challenge that Nipun suggested to me in that conversation. If you feel to join me, even in spirit, you are welcome. Together we are all the more sweet. I feel it's so important as part of our Yoga practice and commitment, to do our best to spread love and good vibes to family, friends and community as best we can. The world needs the light of your heart. Fearlessly loving all hastens the path towards your own Beloved. I'm also working on a Pranayama course that I feel is going to be very useful to all of us in the club, regardless of your level at the moment, so stay tuned for that. Sending all my full love and a big hug, Shiv
