YOGA AND ME

It is official! Ryan and I bagged the exclusive distribution right to the documentary film Yoga and Me in Asia! It is produced and directed by award winning film-maker Robbie Baldwin and we LOVE the film. When I first bought a copy at it's launch during the Australian Yoga conference, I watched it for the first time in front of my TV back in Singapore and realised I could watch it over and over again, and i did. It has one of the most grounding messages delivered in the most non-intruding and compassionate way, and I was touched and inspired.


One message that grips my heart more than others is, " To see how Yoga has affected your life, just look at the quality of the relationships you have." And I go ahhhh..... and I started to think about my mum, my students, my lovely friends and all the gurus in my life. I watched the film a couple more times, then I turn on my computer, found Robbie and wrote to him. The rest is History.

If you want a copy of the DVD, contact me. Love, love, love to share the good!
