my year, the the year of the tiger according to the chinese horoscope.
this is the year I was born in and it comes every 12th year back again..
anyway this last sunday that year started since then it was the CNY [chinese new years]. and my compagnion "A" had made a surprice for me, she had arranged some things in the yogastudio that we had discussed before like changing fabric and colours and got new orange blankets..
.. and also she had found some beautiful candle holders and best of all she found and decorated a very nice altar for me & my new small Ganesh statue [I bought it on my last trip]!
that made me really happy and it was a nice unselfish thing to do.

now I am gonna just give it my personal touch since it is importent that it gets my feeling also, with the correct gurus on the pictures and so on..

since then I have had 3 classes in the "new studio" and this combined with the more spiritual feeling I have within me from the short time in the ashram in India it feels really good in there, before also great now just personally better.

and on top of that today also I had a full class, great!

this weekend I'll try to make the final touches and maybe do a small peronal ritual of some kind that just feels right to me to get a deeper connection.

ha ha beside my Ganesh I always have a small bowl with some grains and so, but I heard today that some of the kids in the childrens yoga are eating some before class ha ha, it is fine with me, just so funny that they even want to eat that and it has been there for a while.. the grains are spiced up with some ayurvedic spices so maybe they like the taste?

including 2 pictures I took quickly today, just to share with you : )

happy new year to all my asian/chinese friend out there!
I hope you all had a great time celebrating!
