A great vegan recipe - Ghee

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:47:00 EDT

Since the Vedic times ghee has been known and revered as the ultimate cooking medium. It is the very essence of butter. It has a faintly nutty flavor, lends a distinctive taste to food cooked in it, will not raise cholesterol levels and does not change structure at high temperatures.

A brief introduction to your Southern Africa Yoga Safari Instructor

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:23:00 EDT

I am a qualified personal trainer, fitness instructor, jazz dance teacher and massage therapist. I resumed practicing yoga 7 years ago after which teacher training followed quite naturally. I have been to India twice and completed my teachers training in Nasik, with the Yoga Vidya Gurukul. My experience of Ashram life was so enlightening that I want to share it with as many people as possible. Yogic life in the Ashram, emphasises all aspects of yoga . Such as the Yama, Niyamas, Asana and Pranayama . More often than not, Western classes only have time to focus on the Asanas and a few Pranayama techniques.

A typical day in an Ashram in India

Hari Om Yoga Teacher in India You wake up to the sound of bells ringing three times, it�s dark outside, it�s 5am exactly. You have half an hour to brush your teeth, wash your face, dress and complete any other necessary ablutions. All this is no easy task when there are four of you, one basin and one toilet (and all women). There is also never any guarantee there will be power. Most mornings you prepare for the day by torchlight. The holy town of Devraprag where the Ganges River originate There is also a rule of silence in the mornings, which is actually really good. It is nice to wake up slowly, take your time to contemplate your day ahead, no need for meaningless chatter just to be polite.
