I am the eye in the sky.

Yesterday, I remembered that one day I was teaching in Brazil and a beloved friend and student of mine at that time came to me after class and said how much she loved to practice with music. And then she added: "Music is such a gateway to the Soul. Like Yoga". Wise comment, beautiful friend. And is precisely my understanding of yoga. Yoga is the gateway to the Soul. So during my walk as I reached the top of this amazing hill here in Gisborne, NZ; as I looked to the sky and to that incredible nature around me the words: I AM THE EYE IN THE SKY came to my Soul. And WOW. What a moment of complete connection and awakening that was. Thank you, Universe. I remembered the song from singer Alan Parsons. So, after I got home, I started to hear again. First time after many years. And for funnier it might sound today I felt that this song is probably registered in my DNA as my beloved father used to listen to it a lot when I was a kid. And then the gateway to the Soul was opened.

Feeling comfortable on my own skin.

"LAM...  kundalini arohanam... muladhara... ommm..."  It's been almost two days after the workshop 'connecting with our roots' but that mantra is still very present NOW in me. Felt like writing just to say thank you to the ones that came together this past weekend and joined us at Reset. The intention was to get grounded and comfortable on our own skin. Inside our own bodies. I wanted to make sure the mirrors were covered because the "inner eye" normaly is more generous than the "external eye". So we experienced some "yoga out of the mat" feeling the floor and connecting with our roots. I brought some "beats" to the scene to create a happy and safe environment to explore how we stand and express the body. Always a challenge to propose some "out of the mat" activities because I'm asking people (Myself too. Believe me.) to step out of their comfort zone. And that is already a big practice. Isn't
