My apologies for being delinquent in posting this past week. I had the first set of tests for my yoga teacher training certification course yesterday, a Toksen workshop out-of-town last weekend, and–on top of all of life’s little happenings–my internet access by computer was only sporadically operational. [And I find posting from a phone to be painfully tedious.]

However, I’ve finished a few books for review, and have lots of thoughts to share about yoga teacher training, Toksen (a Thai massage method using a wooden mallet and chisel), and Kalaripayattu (an Indian martial art for which I’ve been taking lessons.) I’ll try to get busy on writing up some posts after I get some rest.

I spent the weekend at an Ashram south of Bangalore learning Toksen, which is a bodywork method indigenous to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

This blog will be on a 10-day hiatus as I will attending a 30 hour course on Thai Yoga Massage over the next week and a half by the Inner Mountain School of Healing Arts at the Fireflies Ashram in Bangalore.

Cheers.
