    I am new to yoga. I do not know what I will be doing, but unrolling and getting on my mat for the next 40 days in a row is my commitment.

      Hey Rhonda,

      Congratulations! All you have to do is unroll your mat, step on to it, and begin to breath with awareness. That’s often the hardest thing to do. There’s something magical too about not knowing what we’ll do – it allows us to connect to our inner guide and see what’s required – which can change every day. Enjoy your journey, and stay tuned for my updates. Keep updating us as well!

      Many blessings,
      KL

    Well done! I love reading about your journey and am amazed how it coincides with my own. I have been working on the Depak Chopra 21 day challenge of meditation called Miraculous Relationships. All about loving yourself as much as loving others. It was a perfect addition to my daily practice. Keep up the good work. I think what you are doing is great!
    Namaste,
    Sheila

    I am about to start a 40 day Sadhana…As I will be caring for my 91yr mother with Alzheimers at her retirement villa in Port Macquarie. I do not feel comfortable to leave her alone during the day hence an early morning practice before sunrise will work with my schedule & hopefully allow me to have more compassion with a more open heart.
    Sadly I will not have access to my computer or any WI FI in her retirement villa.
    I have done yoga for 15 yrs but would like to know more about your ‘heat opening Kriya postures’
    Could you possible email me photos of the postures for me to practice whilst there.
    When I return I will be very interested in receiving your newsletters etc.
    Namaste
