Temporary Freedom

It's the weekend in this part of the world (Thursday and Friday are weekends in Saudi) and got a one week mid-semester break so I have 9 days of temporary freedom. The original plan was to go to Jeddah and take a diving certification exam but that was canceled. The alternative plan was to go to Dubai, spend time with friends who work there, and take yoga classes at Zen but decided to just stay and save the dosh as I'll be traveling for the rest of the year.

So here I am, spending some time in cyberspace before I start practice. I'll just pretend I'm in Samui or Goa doing a 9-day yoga retreat... kriyas, pranayama and asanas in the morning, nice vegetarian meals, lazy afternoons, and even lazier evenings.

I'll have more time to spare in the kitchen so food photos will flood this blog for 9 straight days. Let's just hope that laziness, one of the obstacles in the path, does not set in.

Here's a video of us chanting Om Sahana Bhavatu during our teacher training graduation last summer. Thanks Jasmine.



Okay, it's vaman time. Cheers.
