A Blog Plug
In a previous post, I blogged about how I became virtual friends with an active yoga blogger/teacher/podcaster, Elsie Escobar.
During my visits to Elsie’s blog, I clicked on a link to her friend and co-podcaster, Hillary Rubin. Eventually, as is the case with these wonderful blog features called backlinks and pingbacks, Hillary also traced back to my blog site and, to my delight, left comments as well.
Just a while back, Hillary once again left a comment, with a link to Elsie’s and her new blog site called Mudra Moments. I just came from that site and think it is the beginning of a wonderful collaboration between yogini friends (one living in L.A.; the other one in Philadelphia- another thing in common with Hillary as I lived in Philly for 2 years).
So friends, do check out Mudra Moments as well as the individual podcast sites of Elsie and Hillary. I am sure you will get wonderful pointers on yoga from them to enhance your own practice.
As for me, one dream is to be able to meet Elsie and Hillary in person one day and maybe even take a class under them. Till then, I plan to continue communicating with these 2 wonderful yoginis and learn as much from them as they continue to share their passion for yoga with the world through podcasting.
Namaste!

About Me
Yoga Girl from www.yogalifestyle.com
Namaste!
I’m Jane, a Filipina from Manila, Philippines. I practise hatha vinyasa yoga and continue to reap so many health and spiritual benefits from it.
Through this blog I hope to:
* chronicle my journey as a yogini-come-lately *
* include the different styles of yoga available in the Philippines
* provide the location of yoga studios *
* write about the local instructors *
* point you to yoga accessories and books locally available *
* talk with you about anything on yoga *
I will always be a work in progress but I hope that you will journey with me and share your own yoga experiences.
You can reach me at <yogajane@ymail.com>

Asana of the Week
Krounchasana (Heron Pose)
Benefits:
* Stretches the hamstrings * Stimulates the abdominal organs and heart *
Caution:
Avoid if you have menstruation.
If you have any serious knee or ankle problems, avoid the bent leg position in this pose unless you have the assistance of an experienced instructor. Instead sit with the bent leg like the one in this picture:

Jane: How wonderful to hear from you again, Hillary. How I wish Mexico was that near to the Philippines –it’s not!
. But I still hold on to the dream of one day travelling back there to the US and meeting you and Elsie. Namaste.
