A Rare Treat
Two of my good yogi friends and I met up for lunch the other day at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (CBTL) Megamall.
Chona is now a professor teaching Research Methods. Jon teaches almost full-time at Yoga Manila. I, on the other hand, was busy preparing for my kids’ vacation to the province, the house repairs, and other preparations for enrolment time. All busybodies whose schedules are very difficult to coordinate!
Fortunately, Chona and Jon were both available that day and providentially, I had a CBTL gift certificate about to expire. Great combination for bonding and eating, haha.
When 3 free spirits get together, anything goes. Our conversations hopped from yoga classes to poring over yoga pictures in a book and giving them thumbs up or down to plans for the wedding of our friend yogini to even some inane stuff. Free expression and laughter were the order of the day. If this is what busybodies call wasting time, I will gladly “waste” time again.
Here are pics of our lunch date. When can we do this again, Chona/Jon?

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:

hi jane
i started doing yoga 4 weeks ago on a 4x a week basis already. but since i have limited funds i bought the yoga zone series by alan finger and the gaiam series by rodney yee and suzanne deason.
i thought that yoga would be a great alternative to the fast paced cardio videos i also tried because i want to lose weight for bikini season, since im on the flabby side
but i realised that yoga brought me so much more benefits. i look forward to doing it 
people have been telling me i look better and brighter now. the weight loss goal is really second priority now 
i just want to delve in yoga.
it’s refreshing to know that someone like you takes a great interest in the practice
it is really admirable.
would you happen to know where i can buy affordable yoga props like bricks, blankets and pillows here in makati? i live in the baranggay near rockwell (poblacion) and i tried looking for the yoga kits in powerplant mall. but they only sell pilates stuff and dvds there. they have yoga apparel and straps but no bricks. help!
thank you

Wow, a new blog. It was a pleasure finally meeting you. Sayang the other guests pulled me away to ask for my views. I hope we could meet up again to chat. You look great and I’m glad you’re better now. Take care, sis.
@Schumey – Bro, I emailed you back already. I would love another chance for a chat.
