Franck: In the Flow
Somewhere in the sky. Updated: 16.11.08 |
My mother always told me to introduce myself to strangers, especially when I am about to drown them in unnecessary and one-sided perspectives on my World. Being the good boy that I am, and usually keen on keeping my mother content, here I go.
You may know me as a teacher or a friend, a passing encounter or an old comrade. Passionate and intense by nature, I have gone through many changes and striven to drink every experience that Life poured onto my path. And yet, I am still learning to pause and absorb the essence of each instant, and let each moment create the next. Son, brother, dreamer, control freak, devoted soulmate, free thinker, joker, best friend, catalyst on fire, reliable shoulder, work in progress or dedicated cook, I am a wandering Soul trying to fit all my faces into the one Identity I have been granted in this Life.
So here I am, imperfect yogi, student of the Flow, teacher of the song that Yoga wants to sing through Us, celebrator of Life and avid worshipper of Prana Shakti, to share my thoughts, document my late-night elucubrations, stoke the fire of our growing Community and hopefully keep you interested in the trivial events of my Journey in the Flow.
'Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever' (Mahatma Gandhi)

April:「瑜」樂無窮
Hong Kong. Updated: 13.11.08 |
硏習瑜伽已差不多三年了,起初只待之以普通健身運動,但現在瑜伽已融入自己的生活,PURE亦成為我的第二個家。一星期五天的練習,偶爾參加工作坊、訓練課程等,都使我獲益良多。除了追求健康身體,也讓我明白個人修養、德行的重要,希望在這裏跟大家分享並共勉之。
寫網誌對我來說絕對是個大挑戰,本人是個科技「呆蛋」,電腦只是用來收發電郵,或找尋資料。所以在此先鳴謝兩位「高級技術支援顧問」(實情是我的寶貝女兒
迫我這樣介紹她們),多謝她們悉心教導和支持。
網誌內將有不同的題目,如…..愛老師、愛練習、愛看書、愛世界等,分享我的「瑜」樂無窮。讓我們在瑜伽路上一起學習、成長,亦希望把我們的正面思想、喜樂與和平帶給身邊人。

Elonne: Weekly Incitement
Taipei, Taiwan. Updated: 09.11.08 |
Every day at least one student asks me a question that I am sure other students have but are either too shy to ask or don't know how to ask. I have questions myself, since I too am a student. In this blog I'll attempt to answer some of those questions, with the hope of reaching a wider audience and starting some kind of dialogue, communication.
To mix things up a bit, I will often get other teachers' insight. Not that we have the right answers - and please let me know if you have something to add or if you think we are completely off the mark - but maybe answering some questions will encourage and incite more questions. Really, the question is far more important than the answer, since it is only by continued inquiry and introspection that we can begin to make sense of it all.
If you have a question of your own, feel free to write in. I can address some of them in the weekly blog.

Wendi: Intentions
Winnetka, Illinois. Updated: 01.11.08 |
| I have practiced Hot yoga for 7 years now. A year ago November, I made a commitment to practice yoga every day. Anyone who practices yoga will say that it is transformative on so many levels. I have undergone many struggles in my practice of yoga. I cannot begin to tell you how much it has changed my ways of moving, thinking and being. I plan to share my thoughts on what I continue to learn from a regular yoga practice in the midst of my busy life as a mother to 5 growing children, ages 21 to 6. I hope I will be able to communicate my transformation in a way that will inspire you to pursue your practice regularly and help you to discover the magic of yoga in your life. Yoga is for me, above all, a daily realization of my intentions, good and bad, and a release of the things I cannot control. |

Joanna: Fish out of water
Hong Kong. Updated: 19.10.08 |
My name is Joanna and I have been practising yoga since April 2007. I enjoy writing and I thought it would be fun to share all the questions, frustrations, giggles and fears that our yoga journey presents.
Off the mat, I am a water baby. I love swimming, scuba diving, freediving and snorkelling. I also have a part-time job with Hong Kong Dolphinwatch and I love to take people out and introduce them to the beautiful dolphins that we have in Hong Kong.
I look forward to meeting you in class! |

Sudhakar: Blossoming Lotus
Hong Kong. Updated: 17.09.08 |
Welcome to my blog. To me, every one of my student in class is like a blooming lotus, full of energy, emitting pure rays of radiance. Blossoming, opening up, they are growing physically and spiritually by the day. Students are the inspirations on my teaching and my own practice. Devoting this blog to my students, I name it Blossoming Lotus, through which I would like to contribute my insights to the Pure family.
In India, I grew up learning the most ancient philosophy of yoga. Profound and intriguing, this kind of knowledge forms the backbone of my teaching. In face of the hectic lifestyle here, the ancient wisdom also makes perfect remedy. That’s why I would like to pass this wisdom on to you just like how it was passed on to me by my masters.
Sudhakar is my name. Sudha means sun. May you be an experienced yogi, yoga teacher or beginner student, I hope that in some ways I could shed light onto your path of yoga. |
