Tropical Fruit Bowl

  • 2 medium sized bananas sliced
  • 1/2 ripe papaya cut into cubes
  • 1/2 ripe mango cut into cube
  • 2 Dizon oranges (I think it's the Hamlin variety as it was really small)
  • Juice of 1 kalamansi (you can substitute juice of 1/2 lemon)
  • Yoghurt (I used Elle & Vire yoghurt with apricot as it was on sale yesterday. Having lived in the Middle East where the dairy products are of good quality and inexpensive, I find the Nestle variety very diluted and sweet. It's either you need to buy the imported ones or make your own yoghurt, which I'm planning of doing in the future).
Mix well and it's ready to serve.

This was breakfast this morning after practice. It's the 2nd day on the mat after a week-long hiatus. The body was definitely tighter but it was a good opportunity be attentive and present.

Yesterday, I took it really slowly and did only the fundamental asanas and the last 3 lotus poses for closing. Today, I thought of doing only until purvottanasana and full closing but I had enough time so I went on to finish the entire primary.

The pranayama practice will have to wait until I've settled in my new place in Manila. It's more subtle than the asana practice so I really prefer to do it in a quiet place.

Here's the locally produced durian-flavored peanut butter that I bought from Living Bread in Gaisano Mall. It's great on toast.
And just after breakfast, a package from Ireland arrived. Katie's Organic oat jumbles, Cocoa Bean cinnamon hot chocolate and music cds from M. Christmas is definitely here.

Happy holidays everyone!

Namaste.
