Detox Drink

Yesterday was a full moon.  What a great way to start MMX.  After having all those garbage in my system, my body already asked for some detox this morning.  I was supposed to delay my new year cleansing program because I'll be having lunch with family today at one of the restaurants here - this means, most of the time, not-veggie-friendly.  So, whatever was sitting in my stomach had to come out.  That means, vaman time.  Great!

Practice was good this morning but I could feel the extra lard I've put on my midsection as bind wasn't as deep as they used to be.  I'd like to believe I've put on muscle mass as my family in Marbel said I looked stronger than the year before.  That was the time when I came back from India and they commendted that I looked underfed and malnourished.  Different perceptions from different people.  Nevertheless, primary is intact so no worries.  Besides, isn't yoga not all about what's being done on the mat?

After practice, I whipped my favorite detox drink for the year.  

1 small cucumber diced

half an apple diced

juice of half an orange

thumb-size fresh ginger

1 celery stalk

half a cup of water.  

Put everything on a blender and liquify!  

Now I feel cleaner and healthier again.

Pictures next time.

I fly back to Manila on Monday and will teach my first commercial yoga class on Saturday.  Yes, "commercial" yoga.  That was the term that the Ananda Marga guy used to describe the types of yoga that are  being taught nowadays.  I didn't want to argue so I kept my mouth shut.

Next week will be all led-classes at all Yoga Manila studios.  Check out the announcement here.

I feel like going against the ordinary this year.
