Being alive!!

I appreciate today how lucky I am to be alive.

I've been reading a book about cancer research and how long and difficult a trial it has been and continues to be.

I am alive today largely because of the advent of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant that occurred in 98.

i took up Yoga seriously in 98. I went to three or four classes a week.

It was Pranayama that helped me with my fear and Asana that helped me to regain the physical strength. 

I was lucky enough to meet the right Yoga teacher for me at that time.

I am grateful for the fact that Yoga is a complete system of healing and in spite of the (in my opinion) corruption of this incredible practice I believe it has a vast amount of untapped resources to offer all sorts of people.

Personally I feel that some of the yoga publications do more to put ordinary people off yoga then they do to encourage them to 'do' yoga.

Yoga is not an elitist practice it is (in my opinion) an everyman/woman adventure into radical healing.

Hari Om Tat Sat!
