A friend posted this on Facebook. I was going to share, and comment, but the space there seemed short, for what I wanted to say. Where to start? At first, I thought, yeah! a true friend who is there no matter what, non judging always loving blah blah blah. And then I thought, who’s that […]

Change of address – Altea
Dear friends, I have moved my treatment and yoga room! I am still in Altea, but now on the other side of the railway tracks, going towards the Old Town. The map is here on my website.
Letting go…
As autumn draws inexorably towards the Long Cold, we, too, draw inwards. Observing the inevitability of change, and loss and dying off, melancholy tugs at our hearts. Autumn is the season of the Lung, whose emotion is grief and sadness and whose element is metal. In Hindu thought, Shiva rules the moribund phase of things…that […]

This is the dastardly work of the ego, keeping the status […]
Fresh from the garden – the yoga of food.
My partner coaxes wonderful vegetables from the clay-ey mediterranean soil. I have just spent the morning making green juice (using Triestino radicchio now, so a little less bitter), then a curly kale stir fry (with home grown chilli pepper, onion and market-bought ginger and garlic) and finally a lovely creamy pumpkin and ginger soup (the […]
Yoga Solidario en el Polideportivo de Altea
The key that opens the door.
I never give up. I am absolutely dogged in my determination to find the clues to living this Life fully and happily. I became sad, unbearably sad, at about age 15, and have spent the intervening 25 years trying to figure out why and trying to figure out if there exists a permanent, drug-free way […]
