TO: THE LEELA HOTEL MANAGEMENT AND STAFF – THANK YOU!
I don’t know if it was karma, fate or pure coincidental luck that introduced me to your employee Arwind Rawat on the streets of Mumbai that hot October evening but I was open to any blessings the universe would offer at the time. I had been in Mumbai for 4 days and was beginning to feel quite alone in this big city. My current hotel was less than adequate for a ...

Since the beginning of my yoga journey I’ve noted consciously doing some involuntary actions less…we generally have little control over our emotions which tend to rule our personalities…one thing I know for sure is that my emotions, mostly the negative, especially crying whether it’s been out of anger, frustration or sadness have become easily manageable.

Not only have I continued to focus my energy, offering a unique ...

What is this conscious awareness that yogi’s teach. Since my return from India I’ve walked, talked, slept and eaten yoga. There are days when I’ve had to reassess my commitment to my own practice because teaching and practicing amounted to over 9 hours of yoga a week and my body started to take strain. As much as it can be good for you too much of a good thing doesn’t work. The heated room scenario at my studio of choice ...

Settling back home has been a struggle because of so many ‘unplanned events’. Perhaps that is where we fail to stay with ourselves. I feel as though my whole world has been stretched…from India to South Africa my heart feels lost. I could never have known how much pain I would go through from loosing a Grandmother.
