My incredibly gifted yoga instructor at a recent retreat in
northern Vermont was a
top American yogini, or should I say a guru, precious Lilavati, owner of
"Temple of the Lotus" a yoga center near Rittenhouse Square in
Philadelphia.
Lilavati
She has been learning yoga since the age of 15 and has
perfected her Ayurvedic practices ever since...She taught us
yoga for hours each day. She now has lots of oils and nectars available
at her website to use "as a protective sheath from Vatas dry chilling
energy" available to buy.
Best of all, for us, were her intensive
training classes to
yoga teachers around the country. I am hoping to use her special
recipes to enhance my "strength, grounded~ness, health, and balance
during the winter months." Be sure to contact her
studio "Temple of the Lotus" where she teaches yoga, and talks
about doshas and balance and other such important yoga principles.

Before I went to the writer/yoga retreat, I became
convinced in my own mind I would fail at it. Lilavati assured me no one
fails Yoga...If I can do a little yoga, anyone can!!!
Of course, I like yoga for the stress-reduction benefits, and "for positive effects on sleep anxiety, quality of life, and spiritual growth" W. Tranquility is, for anyone, a positive goal.

Yoga also has a grand goal
of freedom from illness, old age and death...As a physical, spiritual
and mental discipline, however, yoga is a
useful adjunct to our busy lives. I recommend it when you have the
opportunity.
