Yoga in Camiguin

It was the middle of the day... the weather was perfect... the place was serene... the water crystal clear... I was enjoying the beach alone and couldn't resist the temptation of taking a yoga shot while my father and his cousins reminisce the old days over Red Horse and fresh sea foods.

A firefly in Camiguin

Kurma's wife?
We had a quick visit at the Enigmata Treehouse before going to Mantigue. I was able to talk to the owner Rosalie and told her about my plans of conducting yoga retreats in Camiguin. It's still far away in the future but it is something I would love to do... promote the Philippines, especially Camiguin, through yoga. Enigmata offers not only vegetarian dishes but many programs that are supportive to one's spiritual pursuits.

Rosalie said they've been conducting workshops already but because Camiguin is mainly a Catholic community, there are a lot of misconceptions about yoga. Then I thought, maybe we can offer cheerleading stunts a.k.a partner yoga instead. Inshallah. For now, the possibilities seem endless.

Awesome view! Good shots, too! Self-portrait pa rin yoga poses mo? Dapat dito na lang tayo nag photo shoot, we could have delayed it by a few days, mwahaha!

Go ako sa yoga retreat! I see it happening not too far in the future...sa March book na kita? =D We can always call it by another name. Let's time it during the holy week so it would appear just like any other retreat, he he.
