YOGA WORKSHOP MARRAKECH – FEB

FEB has seen here in Marrakech YOGA WORKSHOPS focusing on asana, prana as sound, kirtan, chanting and mediation.

One of the beautys of this workshop has been for us to explore our relationship to Ganesh, the Hindu Elephant symbol recognised as the remover of obstacles, and guradian of the gate to the enlightened realm.

As mudra, chanting, devotion and prana work, Ganesh shows up everywhere.

It was in this workshop Sunday feb 1 and Sunday Feb 8 from 8h30 to 13h, that we looked at our own obstacles,, Ganesh in a way where we could find empowerment, strength and hope.

Space is available for the next yoga workshop sunday 8 Feb by contacting heartofa@gmail.com

MARRAKECH ALIVE !!!! SPROUTING

After returning from New York City and being amazed and inspired not only by the healthy availability of food, but the low cost of tofu and sprouts, i have now been inspired to introduce and make available here in the land of camels and honey, sprouts.

Not only are sprouts loaded with anti-oxidents, but full of nutritional value that can sometimes be lost when we cook food. they are affordable and easy to grow in warm climates.

If you would like more information on sprouting here in Marrakech contact heartofa@gmail.com

NAMASTE

THE ART OF INCENSE

Incense has been with us for thousands of years. Being used in religious ceremonies or as medicine, it has the affect to uplift the spirit and heal and change the environment the energy of ones home.

We are lucky here in Marrakech to find great incense sticks in the Medina, and as you walk by in Jmaa Fnaa take note of the fragnant smells of amber, frankencense and rose.

Bring it into your home and enjoy. Found as sticks or resin or can be used with oil burners.

CELEBRITIES AND YOGA

While most of us may not have our own private jet, and fly around the world like going to the corner store, what we may have in common with these celebrities is the practice, the discipline and the love of yoga.

I think it inspiring that celebrities are bringing yoga to the fore, Madonna demonstraing in on tour, Sting and Trudie opening their home and vegetable garden to Pathabhi Jois when in town.

Perhaps it has made yoga ‘fashionable’, people wanting to do it to get a body like Madonna, but whatever the reason one starts the journey, the seed has been planted for deeper discovery and ultimately when one begins to practice the fruits of inner calmness, balance, strength and flexibiity as well as finding tools for stress management, and the space to reflect, to comtemplate, to observe all connect us and inspire us to be better at who we are.

Marrakech will be hosting mid September a one day workshop for all those wishing to practice or have a continuing practice of yoga, pranayama, chanting and meditation.
