Yoga

Translation of the Isha Upanishad above by my teacher Yumee Chung:

That is whole and this is whole
The whole is manifested from the whole
When the whole is taken from the whole
What remains is the whole
Om shantih shantih shantih-hee

As a 13-year-old track and fielder in Maputo, Moçambique struggling with flexibility, I was handed a copy of the 28 Day Yoga Plan. I’ve practiced yoga ever since. Over the decades I’ve dedicated hundreds of hours to becoming certified as a teacher through Kripalu, Yoga Detour, Octopus Garden, and Yoga Tune Up. My physical practice classes consider biomechanics, anatomy, mobility, breathing physiology, and contain a certain amount of goofiness. Classes and group information here.
